The Titanic Band Collection

The music played by the Titanic’s band on the night of April 14, 1912, has become one of the most haunting symbols of courage and solace in the face of tragedy. As the great ship met its fate in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, the musicians famously continued to perform, offering comfort to passengers in their final moments. Their legacy has endured for more than a century, remembered not only as a testament to their bravery but also as a reminder of the powerful role music plays in bringing strength and calm during times of unimaginable hardship. The story of the Titanic band remains one of the most poignant intersections of history and music.

Avid Reeder Music is proud to honor this legacy with the Titanic Band Collection—a carefully curated set of pieces connected to the music performed on the Titanic’s maiden voyage. This collection, arranged for modern ensembles by composer and conductor Alfred Surenyan, allows today’s musicians to bring to life the same melodies that once resonated through the decks of the ship. With this series, directors and performers can share in a living memorial that bridges history and performance, ensuring that the courage and artistry of the Titanic’s band continues to inspire audiences for generations to come.
