This beautiful piece of music would not recognise the england of today,what a awful shame,still we have this fine piece of music to remind us of the england of old!
This was so wonderful, it always brings tears to my eyes it is so moving, not sad tears but happy tears, although this is often played at the cenotaph on remembrance Sunday, it is just as beautiful played by a military band. so glad I found this!💖
England have just lost the Euros.. I had to just find some reason to believe in my country again!! No spanish composer could have written this !!! Well done Spain, but we had Elgar…
If you told me at the age of 18 that 40 years later you would sit on your sofa and basically cry your little heart out at this piece of music I would of called you a fool proud to be British ❤
I heard this music for the first time at the "La Farándula" theater in Sabadell (Catalonia) at a Christmas concert. It is very emotional music and it also makes me cry every time I hear it. It suggests to me the sad and happy tribute to an entire life.
I loath intellectual snobbery in all its forms. Musical purists laugh at this piece of music as over sentimental and dismiss it. They could not write anything remotely as beautiful as Nimrod . They are small minded and I have utter contempt for them and their arrogant attitudes.
I lived in Malvern for several years in the 1980s and often used to visit Elgar's grave at St Wulstan's Church, to pay homage to such a great man. Elgar used to say apparently, that he drove round the beautiful Worcestershire countryside in his car and 'plucked the music out of the air'. When I hear Nimrod, I truly believe him!
I’ve never paid much attention to Elgar, apart from loving this piece. Anyway, as a fitting finish to a lovely weekend visit to Worcester (we were a ‘fill-in’ choir singing the services at the Cathedral whilst the choristers were on holiday), we visited Elgar’s birthplace. It was a delightful place to visit. As a bonus, and maybe because it was a bank holiday we were treated to a couple of talks about Elgar’s life and about the ‘Variations’. What an excellent visit that was.
3:47 this note on trumpet I believe is one of my favourite single notes played in any piece of music ever composed it is just the embodiment of the sense of yearning and a melancholy joy that this piece gives me
There is indeed a connection with NIMROD and Elgar's German fried Jaeger Nimrod is the great hunter, and Jaeger means hunter in German. And I recall the Band of the Coldstream Guards playing this in the forecourt of St. Jame's Palace on news of the death of Princess Diana. Well done Queensland Symphnony..... please come and visit us in Cairns. Les Griffiths
