It's not entirely clear what the final song actually was. Most of the survivors reported hearing the band play "Nearer my God to Thee," a hymn which would have certainly been appropriate for the final moments of a sinking ship. Yet, at the time, the hymn was played to several different melodies. The British would have recognized the "Horbury" melody as "Nearer my God to Thee," while the Americans would have recognized the "Bethany" melody, and yet both British and American survivors reported hearing "Nearer My God to Thee" as the final song.

Titanic's junior wireless operateor Harold Bride told the New York Times, while aboard the rescue ship Carpathia soon after the catastrophe, that the final song was "Autumn," likely referencing the popular waltz at the time "Songe d'Automne."

In the movie it is Nearer My God To Thee. You can purchase it with the album "Back To Titanic." I recommend it. But on the real ship the subject has been disputed many times. Some say they heard the band play Nearer My God To Thee. Others say the band paniced like everyone else on the ship.

There are many theories to this question, but most people think it was "Nearer My God to Thee".

Some people also believe that the last song played was "Songe d'Automne," Dream of Autumn.

The song that was actually played is unknown.

An urban legend states that the song "Nearer My God to Thee" was played while the Titanic was sinking, but survivors of the Titanic have said this wasn't true as the band (like everyone else) were panicking and trying to abandon ship.

Reportedly, one of the last songs played by the band as the Titanic sank was "Songe d' Autumn" or "Dream of Autumn". It was composed by Archibald Joyce.
