Which song was performed on April 29, 1912 at a benefit concert for families of victims of the Titanic disaster?

Where was the concert, Mozart? There would have been quite a number. Considering the way in which the contemporary media had romanticised the last minutes, it's likely that 'Nearer my God to Thee' got an airing ( some survivors did report that popular music hall songs were being played at the end,but that's not quite so romantic )

The Lost Chord by Arthur Sullivan

It was performed by Enrico Caruso at the Metropilitan Opera House, as mentioned in Jenny's source. Thanx Both.

Arthur Sullivan? Wasn't it by Jimmy Durante, Jenny? I'm sure he great Schnozzola sang about it when I was young

According to Wikipedia, Jimmy Durante recorded a song called "The Guy Who Found the Lost Chord,"
