Nimrod is the name given to the ninth and best-known variation in Edward Elgars Enigma Variations, an orchestral work of 14 variations on an original theme composed between 1898 and 1899. Each variation is also a portrait of one of 14 members of Elgar's family and circle of friends. A celebrated work, Nimrod is a portrait of Augustus Johannes Jaeger, who in addition to being his bestfriend was also Elgar's editor. The variations all represent a series of portraits and as such are entitled with a name or initials that identify the person. Biblically, Nimrod is a great hunter of the Old Testament, thus representing his muse through a play on words: Jäger in German means'hunter'. The melody appears to represent a nocturnal stroll during which the two discuss Ludwig van Beethoven's slow movements; thefirst eight bars, in fact, recall the beginning of the second movement of the Pathétique Piano Sonata. An arrangement of classical music signed by Franco Cesarini which stands out for its skilful and careful instrumentation.

Not only the famous Nimrod, but also most of the other 14 Enigma Variations by Elgar - affectionate portraits of people from the composer's circle - are extremely suitable for performance on the organ. This is reflected in this edition, which contains Nimrod as well as ten other variations from the cycle for the first time in arrangements for organ. These are based on the two original versions for orchestra and for piano. The arrangements of these marvellous atmospheric variations are of moderate difficulty and are equally suitable for performance in concert or church services.
