The answer to this - or if indeed the band was even playing at the moment the last of the ship slid beneath the surface- is not known for sure. Various witnesses on board mentioned both

the hymn "Nearer My God To Thee", and the hymn "Autumn" (also known as "Song d'Autome" by Francois Barthelemon), but all that can be said for certain is that both of these songs were probably played during the final minutes (the band had been playing ragtime and popular tunes most of the evening). As the ships remains finally sank once and for all, the acute tilt of the deck would have made the act of playing a musical instrument almost impossible, though the band members bravely continued playing as long as they could until the very end - whenever it was (for them). But the very last thing they played simply isn't known.

Name of the last song played by the titanic's band?

It's not entirely clear what the final song actually was. Most of the survivors reported hearing the band play "Nearer my God to Thee," a hymn which would have certainly been appropriate for the final moments of a sinking ship. Yet, at the time, the hymn was played to several different melodies. The British would have recognized the "Horbury" melody as "Nearer my God to Thee," while the Americans would have recognized the "Bethany" melody, and yet both British and American survivors reported hearing "Nearer My God to Thee" as the final song. Titanic's junior wireless operateor Harold Bride told the New York Times, while aboard the rescue ship Carpathia soon after the catastrophe, that the final song was "Autumn," likely referencing the popular waltz at the time "Songe d'Automne."
