Carpathia

Description

This powerful work depicts the frantic voyage of the�RMS Carpathia, the first ship to arrive on the scene after receiving a distress call from the�Titanic. Determined to save as many lives as possible, the captain managed to squeeze 17 knots out of a supposed 14-knot vessel. The music depicts the vibrations of the ship�s hull along with the hissing of the boiler. As�Carpathia�arrives on the terrible scene, the music relinquishes its fast pace to a slow, mournful hymn. After a brief moment of tranquility, the music intensifies as the rescue ship embarks on her triumphant yet tragic return voyage to safety. Absolutely stunning! (2:10)
