Elgar: (MP3) Theme and 10 Variations (including Nimrod) from Enigma Variations Op.36 - wind dectet/bass
Elgar's most famous piece for orchestra.
Here is the theme and 10 of the variations arranged for wind dectet (double wind quintet) and an optional bass line - either tuba/double bass or contra bassoon.
(I have chosen those variations which suit the wind ensemble.)
some variations are easier than others, but are all worth the challenge!
Variations included are:
Theme
I. CAE
III. RBT
IV. WMB
V. RPA
VI. Ysobel
VIII. WN
IX. Nimrod
XI. GRS
XII. BGN
XIII. ***
