‘Nimrod’ is the name given to the ninth and best-known variation in Edward Elgar‘s Enigma Variations,
an orchestral work of 14 variations on an original theme composed between 1898 and 1899.
Each variation is also a portrait of one of 14 members of Elgar’s family and circle of friends.
A celebrated work in its own right, ‘Nimrod’ is a portrait of Augustus J. Jaeger, Elgar’s editor and publisher.
The piece is arranged here for sopranino, descant, treble and bass recorder.
