Sometimes when I come across music I like to try to fit it to some scene in the Titanic disaster. I just finished listening to Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No. 3 II Lento E Largo. It's a haunting piece of music, that's often referred to as the "Symphony of Sorrows." I imagined it as the background music for the body recovery operation, i.e., the incident with the Bremen bypassing the bodies on April 20, 1912, the Mackay-Bennett's arrival on the scene, its commencement of operations, etc. There's a particulary intense part at about 5:23 minutes into the movement that I imagined to be the sorrowful recovery of the 2 year old child.
The music is accessible through Windows Media at Radio 13, under "Classical." Alternatively, you can go to

and click on "Classical." Gorecki's symphony is several songs (like five or six) from the beginning --and they play in sequence --so be patient.
Any other thoughts about music that fits the events here?
