Elgar - Nimrod

In honor of all the graduates out there today I'm posting my favorite piece of music of all time written by Edward Elgar. Most people know of Elgar through his "Pomp and Circumstance" piece that is routinely played at graduations but today I'm showcasing Nimrod. Nimrod was written by Elgar as part of fourteen variations on a central theme titled "Enigma Variations". It's haunting, beautiful, and noble. I hope you like it as much as I do.
