The Wreck of the "Titanic"
Descriptive Piece

[this song has short descriptions that indicate action in the music]:
"All Aboard"
Boat Whistle
The Voyage begins
"A Life On The Ocean"
A Two-Step by Starlight
Everybody happy and care-free
The last "Good Night" as passengers separate until morning

Good night, may God protect us
As o'er the waves we glide;
The shars shining brightly,
No evil can betide
O may you slumber sweetly
Until the morning light;
Our voyage will soon be over,
Good night, my love, good night

Crash!
"What is the matter?"
the iceberg is discovered
Crash! Crash!
Whistle sounds the alarm
All rush to the deck
the awful truth is realized!

Women and children escape while men and band render "Nearer my God to Thee" as the big ship sinks.

Music grows fainter and fainter
