TITANIC VOYAGE – NEW from PHILIP STOPFORD for Children’s Choir!

April 2nd 2012 marks the precise hundredth anniversary of Titanic, the ‘Ship of Dreams,’ sailing to Southampton out of Belfast Lough.

To commemorate this wonderful occasion, the Titanic Foundation have commissioned international composer Philip Stopford to write TITANIC VOYAGE, a short choral work for young voices, piano and solo instrument.

The Queen of the Ocean, the Liner Titanic
The largest vessel in the world
The Queen of the Ocean, the Liner Titanic
The latest, largest and finest steamer afloat
The Ship of Dreams.
God himself could not sink this ship.
I cannot imagine any condition which would cause this ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any disaster that could happen to this vessel. Titanic, Titanic. Sail, Oh sail Titanic!
Iceberg right ahead!
Nearer my God to thee.
The band played on …
