Nearer, My God, to Thee (from Titanic) – for String Trio(Violin I, Violin II, and Cello)
Arranged by Flávio Régis Cunha
Step into history and let your strings sing with profound emotion. This moving arrangement of “Nearer, My God, to Thee” — famously associated with the final moments of the Titanic — invites performers to relive one of music’s most unforgettable expressions of faith, hope, and human courage.
Whether you are a church musician, string trio, or concert performer, this arrangement captures both the intimacy of devotion and the sweeping tragedy that made the hymn immortal. Its lyrical lines and warm harmonies bring audiences to stillness — the kind of silence that only true beauty can create.

️ A Legacy of Faith and Humanity
Played aboard the RMS Titanic as the ship sank, this hymn has since become a symbol of courage, serenity, and the triumph of spirit through art. Its story connects musicians to a shared human experience — one of loss, hope, and transcendence through music.
Bring this timeless arrangement to your stage, sanctuary, or classroom, and let its quiet strength speak through your strings.
