 Edwardian Music
I am personally quite fond of Edwardian music. Instrumental of course - It is rather soothing and romantic at times. My favorites consist of Ragtime. Particularly Those preformed by the Titanic's Orchestra lead by Wallace Heartly. James Horner also does a fine job in creating and conducting Titanic related music.
Top 5 List:
Blue Danube
Oh you beautiful doll
Nearer my God to Thee
Songe d'Autome
Alexanders Ragtime Band

Re: Edwardian Music
I too, thoroughly enjoy Edwardian era music. I happen to have in my TITANIC collection the following CDs:
TITANIC - Music Composed & Conducted by James Horner
Back to TITANIC - Original Music Composed & Conducted by James Horner. On this CD, the Irish group called Gaelic Storm playing "An Irish Party in Third Class" are on it. They're sensational! Also, most of the music was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra , & Choristers of King's College, Cambridge.
TITANIC: A New Musical - Original Broadway Cast Recording
The Music of the TITANIC - Olympic is pictured on the CD jacket, not Titanic  Weird. Huh!?
Music inspired by the TITANIC (right ship pictured on this CD) and Other Hits of the Time - Featuring: "My Heart Will Go On", "Hymn To The Sea", "Southampton", "The Entertainer", "Merry Widow Waltz", and more. I am, however, surprised to see "O Sole Mio" featured as one of the musical numbers on back jacket of this CD.

Re: Edwardian Music
Facinating MA, glad to know you too fancy this sort of music from the remarkable era. I have the Soundtrack to the Titanic - with a few songs from "Back to Titanic" and all the recordings of my previously listed "Top 5's" which I love! :sweat:

Re: Edwardian Music
I love the music from that era, James!!! Did you know that Gaelic Storm were featured guests on the HSN not too long ago? Apparently, either their music CDs or instruments like they play, were being sold there.

Re: Edwardian Music
I am particularly fond of the Paris 1938 'God Diggers'- "Waltz of the Flowers".

Erhm, Mr. Titanicc, 1938? Isn't that pre/or when WWII began over in Europe, when Hitler's Nazis begun invading different countries there?

Re: Edwardian Music
It was while watching the TBN Channel on a Saturday morning, that I first heard this delightful tune being sung by a youngster, while viewing a Sea World Aquarium, somewhere south of Los Angeles, CA...
This song is titled--"This Is My Father's World", that Maltbie D. Bab**** (1858-1901) wrote. While a pastor in Lockport, NY, Bab**** liked to hike in an area called "the escarpment," an ancient upthrust ledge near Lockport. It is a marvelous view of farms, orchards, and Lake Ontario, about 15 miles distant. It is said those walks in the woods inspired these lyrics. The title recalls an expression Bab**** used when starting a walk: "I'm going out to see my Father's world."
Music: "Terra Beata," traditional English melody, arranged by Franklin L. Sheppard in his Alleluia, 1915.
Here's the second verse of this song:
This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world: He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.

Sadly, MA, that source must be refering to a different Waltz or song of sorts. Because that is not the intended "Waltz of the Flowers". Indeed WW2 did take place in 1938-1945. The Waltz that was intended is described accurately by This source.
Here is the prime focus:
"The Nutcracker Suite is a popular ballet composed by Tchaikovsky in 1892. It tells the story of a young girl named Clara who anxiously awaits Christmas morning and spends the night dreaming of vivid scenes with wonderful characters. Therefore, the ballet is traditionally performed during the Christmas season.
The musical movements of The Nutcracker reflect the scenes that Clara beholds. The one we will focus on is entitled "Waltz of the Flowers."
So the real thing was created in 1892, prior to the Titanic's voyage. It sounds nice, I have it as a ringtone on my cellphone.
