I give up

[missprim]

I've tried to find this info myself but I'm having no luck.
There's a trailer on TV for a forthcoming programme about the Titanic and although I can't remember the name of the programme or find out when it's on, I do remember it was introduced by Richard E Grant.
The thing I would like to know is the piece of classical music that is played.
It's a well known piece and it's driving me mad 'cos I can't remember what it's called.
Any help appreciated.

Is it '' nearer my god than thee '' allegedly played by the Titanic musicians has it sank.

Is it Words of the Titanic?

Here is a link to trailer below and they play the Blue Danube by Strauss near the end

btw Words of the Titanic is on ITV1 on Sunday 15th April at 10:00pm with Richard E Grant.

I think it's quite likely that it is called Words of the Titanic.
Looked at the link VHG and the trailer definitely starts showing the wreck of the Titanic but I don't recall the rest of the trailer.
It's possible the music on this trailer is the same but I still can't put a name to it but thanks for your help.

this is the trailer, and the music at the start i assume has been composed for the piece, however further on The Blue Danube is playing, is that it?

composed by Johann Strauss the second.

Hi em, I'm still not sure that this is the trailer I have seen on TV but I'm pretty sure I would have recognized the Blue Danube as I was almost brought up on Strauss.
I will just have to watch out for it again and see if I recognize it, but I thought I could hear strains of Handel's Largo in this trailer.
