One of my favorite classical music pieces is a movement from English composer’s, Sir Edward Elgar, ‘Enigma Variations’. This orchestral piece has 14 variations on an original theme. My favorite movement from that piece is the variation #9 known as the ‘Nimrod Variation‘.
Edward Elgar [1857 – 1934]
This short Adagio movement is one of the most beautiful melodies you will ever hear. I hope it will make your day seem a little more pleasant.
This video has Daniel Barenboim leading the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Turn up the volume and enjoy the beauty of the ‘Nimrod’.

Thank you for sharing this exquisite music – it is one of my favourite pieces. The first time I heard it performed live, I felt such a wave of emotion, and it moves me whenever I hear it. This is a wonderful recording of a timeless piece.
