The piece of music is focused on the idea of Bryars’ romantic notion of the music and sounds of the drowning orchestra still playing beneath the waves as the ship continues to go down. However with that simple idea a great piece of music is scored. Compositionally the attempt to metaphorically play the disaster using elements associated with it, songs and hymns, sounds of the ocean, the ship etc. the result is nothing like a radio show – much of the success really comes from the minimal approach to the sound combined with the emotional resonance of the hymns, and the dispassionate scientific examination of the event over a period of time.<\/p>\n
