Composed by Edward Elgar. Arranged by David McKeown. Contemporary,Romantic Period,Standards,Wedding. 3 pages. David McKeown #4822987. Published by David McKeown (A0.587729).Nimrod, is the ninth of the Enigma Variations composed by Edward Elgar in 1899. Here, the music is arranged for Violin Duet, directly from the orchestral score. Elgar wrote fourteen variations on a theme, each one depicting close friends and family. Nimrod represents his publisher and friend Augustus Jaeger. The biblical character of Nimrod is described as a "mighty hunter", and jaeger means "hunter" in German.
Musicians at an intermediate level and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances. Both parts require dramatic dynamic contrasts and lyrical legato playing. The overall performance time is around three minutes. The linked full performance on youtube is the Clarinet version of this duet.
