If you ever want to hear a spooky, emotional piece of music, check out "The Sinking of the Titanic" by Gavin Bryars.

Thank you. As I compose this post, I'm listening to this haunting symphonic piece.

I'm among those who prefer A Night to Remember over the James Cameron film. Maybe I'm a sentimental sap but, while listening to the Gavin Bryars piece, there is one part of the 1990's that I really do like. It's the fantasy ending sequence where Wallace Hartley (the orchestra leader, shown below) and others are shown reappearing in the approach to the Grand Staircase.

The voices that you can barely make out in the mix are recordings of Titanic survivors.
