Bee Gees legend Robin Gibb died May 20 at the age of 62, and hell be forever remembered for the disco hits he performed with that group. But his final major creation was markedly different. To commemorate the centennial of the tragic sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912, Gibb and his son RJ Gibb composed an album of classical music: The Titanic Requiem . The piece was their first classical work together and was performed last month by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra along with the RSVP Voices choir. As is appropriate for an album commemorating a tragedy, the music is hauntingly beautiful, but no song more affecting or poignant than Dont Cry Alone, which featured Robin Gibb as lead vocalist.
