Nimrod (000.22) Nimrod, the ninth variation from Elgars masterpiece Op. 36, "Enigma Variations" is one of the most recognized works in the classical repertoire. There are so many adjectives to describe this piece of genius: stately, majestic, serious, solemn, moving, noble, languid, stoic, enduring and sublime. There are few works in the repertoire that bring forth such strong emotions as this work, which is often performed for funerals and for Memorial Day / Remembrance Day services. Randall Malmstroms beautiful arrangement for 4-part Tuba Ensemble (2 Euphoniums and 2 Tubas) is appropriate for moderately advanced performers. About 4 minutes in length.
