A century aka 100-year event due to sinking of the Titanic struck an
iceberg in its maiden journey from England to the U.S., will be
commemorated on 15 April 2012. British pop legend Robin Gibb with
his sons to create a classical composition to commemorate the 1517
tragedy that killed these people.
In his musical career, Robin has created a number of pop songs that
became hits and scored the most memorable sales of more than 200
million copies worldwide. However, writing a classical composition
of the sinking of the Titanic that is what helped him get out of the
tragedy itself.
Personnel group The Bee Gees brothers was admitted that he had long
been fascinated by the Titanic. To commemorate 100 years of the
tragedy of the ship, he had to compose his first classical work,
"The Titanic Requiem", with his son, RJ, aged 29 years. Robin said,
focusing his energies into work that helped him fight against liver
cancer. He was diagnosed with liver cancer last year and is now
gradually recovering.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the 62-year-old man said, "I
am very grateful that the work on 'The Titanic Requiem' successfully
separated me from my illness in such a way, it is believed that it
might have saved my life."
Robin's interest in the story of the Titanic began her childhood,
when he was caught in a violent storm at sea. "One of my earliest
memories come back when I was a child, was seven years old, and my
grandmother told me how his mother wept to the flood of tears when
he heard the Titanic had sunk," recalls Robin. "Then, when I was
eight years old, my family and I sailed to Australia (from England)
to launch our music career and start a new life, but we're stuck in
a storm," in memorial Robin again.
Robin continued, when the vessel is diempas waves up and down, the
passengers passed out everywhere on the deck and feel sick. However,
not so with Robin. "Then the captain made an announcement, 'Do not
worry. During this time there was no tragedy at sea since the
Titanic sank in 1912'," he continued. "That's not true, of course,
the alias for encouraging us, the passengers. But, again, the
specter of the Titanic has been raised," he continued.
Robin, his brothers, and their parents almost died at sea when, on
his way back from Australia in 1967, the ship they were traveling
through the Suez Canal and was shot, because when it's going civil
war in Aden. In the same year, once again, Robin almost lost his
life. Train which was traveling along with Molly, who later became
his wife, had an accident at Hither Green, south London, and claimed
49 lives.
For Robin, an event sank Titanic was a tragedy that more of the
other tragedies. Set against a great interest to the Titanic, with
RJ, who is also a talented musician, Robin and created "The Titanic
Requiem". "We spent two years to complete 'The Titanic Requiem'. Two
years of dedication and I am certainly very proud of it," said
Robin, who claimed never to force his son to become a musician.
RJ also proudly claim to be the composition of it, he sebangga to
resolve the composition of his work day and night, while his father
was undergoing chemotherapy for his cancer fight. "He went against
all odds. He really has become a professional and he deserves a
medal for it. For him, coming straight from chemotherapy and went
into the studio, incredible," said RJ, who feel closer to her
father's blessing working with the composition.
Robin had hopes of "The Titanic Requiem". "I just hope that 'The
Titanic Requiem' will be a showcase to commemorate all the brave
souls who perished in the tragedy, so they will not be forgotten,"
said memorabilia collector Titanic again.
