寻《泰坦尼克号》里一段小提琴插曲

nearer my god to thee

《与主亲近》或《更近我主(Near my God to Thee)》。

卡麦隆把提琴手从演奏晚会音乐转变成圣诗的过程处理得非常好，当船身倾斜到提琴手们不太能保持平衡的时候——也就是虚构的男女主角往船尾攀爬的时候，哈特利对其他的提琴手鞠了一个躬，说：“今晚我有很大的荣幸与你们一同演奏，现在，让我们各去各的吧！”然而，就在他手下的提琴手转身的时候，他站在原处，似乎在想“我没处可去，只有等待与主相会了。”于是，他又拿起琴炫，从容地奏着那最能让他预备见主面之心的歌，《更近我主(Near my God to Thee)》。听到那天韵的升起，那几个他刚刚告别过的提琴手也转过身来，加入了他那最后的一首演奏曲：Nearer my god to thee

华莱士·哈特里，泰坦尼克号上的乐队指挥，就是他在沉船过程中仍然出色地指挥乐队继续演奏，直至随船一起沉没。

我把这当成轶闻而已，有保留的相信。

Wallace Hartley

Bandmaster on the Titanic

Titanic's band

One of the most famous stories of Titanic is of the band. On April 15, Titanic's eight member band, led by Wallace Hartley, had assembled in the first-class lounge in effort to keep passengers calm and upbeat. Later they would move on to the forward half of the boat deck. The band continued playing music Even When it became apparent the ship was going to sink. None of band members survived the sinking, and there's been much speculation about what their last song was. Some witnesses said the final song played was the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Hartley reportedly said to a friend if he was on a sinking ship "Nearer, My God, to Thee" might be one of the songs he would play. Walter Lord’s book A Night to Remember popularised wireless operator Harold Bride’s account that he heard the song "Autumn" before the ship sank. It is considered Bride either meant the hymn called "Autumn" or "Songe d'Automne," a popular song at the time.

Wallace Hartley

——From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Wallace Henry Hartley (June 2, 1878 - April 15, 1912) was a violinist who led the band on the RMS Titanic on its maiden voyage. He became famous for leading the eight member band as the ship sank on April 15, 1912.

Wallace Hartley was born in Colne, Lancashire, England on June 2, 1878. In school he learned to play the violin and in 1909 began working on Cunard Line ocean liners, primarily on the RMS Mauretania. In 1912 Hartley worked for the music agency C.W. & F.N. Black which supplied musicians for Cunard and the White Star Line.

In April of that year Hartley was assigned to be the bandmaster for the White Star Line ship RMS Titanic. He was at first reluctant to go, not wanting to again leave his fiancée, Maria Robinson, who he had recently proposed to, but Hartley decided that working on the maiden voyage of the Titanic would give him possible contacts for future work.

After the Titanic hit an iceberg and began to sink, Wallace Hartley and his fellow band members started playing music to help keep the passengers calm as the crew loaded the lifeboats. Many of the survivors claimed that he and the band continued to play till the very end. None of the band members survived the sinking and the story of them playing to the end became a popular legend.

There has been a great deal of speculation of what the last song the band played was. Some survivors remember hearing the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee". This song became the most popular belief with former band mates saying that Hartley said he would either play "Nearer, My God, to Thee" or "O God, Our Help in Ages Past" if he was ever on a sinking ship, but Walter Lord's book A Night to Remember popularized wireless officer Harold Bride account of hearing the song "Autumn". It is believed Bride meant the hymn called "Autumn" or "Songe d'Automne," a popular song at the time.

His body was recovered by the Mackay–Bennet as body number 224. He is buried in Colne where a 10–foot bust was erected in his honor. 40,000 people attended his funeral.
