Edward Elgar - Nimrod
Catalogue No: BWP2910
Elgar arr John Humphries - horns in F in 8 parts
By: Elgar arr John Humphries
Although Nimrod allegedly describes a conversation between Elgar and his publisher about Beethoven, it is now regarded as one of the finest pieces in all English music and its character sums up the spirit of its era.
"... I really like this arrangement. From an educational standpoint the key in Db, Gb concert, offers a different challenge and a welcome change from the many ensemble pieces in concert F, Eb or Bb, a benefit it also offers in terms of programming, whilst it also enables younger players to learn more about ensemble and Elgarian style. The highest note is a high Bb so most good young sections will be able to enjoy this great music and more experienced players can add something very majestic and grand to their repertoire amidst the hurly burly of Ruslan and La Danza. Highly recommended..."
