Nearer, My God, to Thee

Most famously notable for being played by the musicians on the RMS Titanic as the ship sank into the Atlantic Ocean in 1912, the beginning of this arrangement aims to capture the essence of that fateful night with the ocean waves represented in an aleatoric figure in the left hand as the melody soars above the rumbling. The song moves from there to illustrate more bodies of water (i.e. rivers, creeks, and seas) that beautify and bring peace to the earth and bring to us a sense of wholeness with each image. This timeless hymn will surely bring us closer in our journeys of faith during your performance.
