I once read that, as a child in school, E.E. was asked by a teacher: “What’s your name?” he replied “Edward Elgar.” The teacher, offended, told him: “It’s ‘Sir’”. E.E. prophetically replied: “I’m sorry, Sir Edward Elgar!”

Gosh! And I thought he was just the composer who wrote Pomp and Circumstance that plays at every high school and college graduation. I might need to listen to this one in full.

Until now I hadn’t realized that Elgar’s Enigma theme was also used in the soundtrack to “The Matrix” - in the track “Clubbed to Death” by Rob Dougan. Amazing stuff!

I already realized it upon hearing that movie OST decades ago!

we played Nimrod in high school concert band, with no string players. Our band teacher explained the origin that the Variations were about Elgar's friends and nobody knew who Nimrod was. The name sounded like an insult but the piece was so warm.

I completely understand what you mean, when I was young calling someone a Nimrod was implied as a dolt or an idiot. Odd that happened if it was meant as Hunter. Lol😜

Me: "Where do your relatives live?" Others: "They live in the city of A, the village of B, the country of C, etc." Elgar: "They live in my music."

"Old Billy Baker". Haha. Irrelevant personal fun fact: as a child I lived in WMB's house. I never knew about the connection to Elgar until 40 years later.

I remember one time in high school, my orchestra was going to play an arrangement of Nimrod from Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Unfortunately, the pandemic canceled the concert and I was a little disappointed. But I still have my second violin part so I can still have a little bit of Elgar in my heart. Edit: I wonder what the next piece you are working on next Another edit: How about Benjamin Britten’s opera, Peter Grimes? It is such a sad opera

Brilliantly done! I have also read that throughout his life Elgar was prone to exaggeration, and after his death some of his closest friends speculated that the “enigma“ in this was just another one of his exaggerations meant to exasperate people as they searched to solve the puzzle. My favorite theory, though is the one that you propose. “Friendship” makes the most sense in context of what Elgar’s circle of friends meant to him and his ability to achieve what he did with so little formal background. Thank you, and Cheers!

I first started watching your videos earlier this year, as I just started music appreciation at my first year at college. I kept listening to all these pieces of music and getting hooked on them. It then led me to looking up these songs on KZread and finding your channel. I saw when your last upload was and was disappointed that these 14 lovely deep dives into the music would be the only ones made by you. The joy when I woke up and saw this in my subscription feed was indescribable. Wonderful video as always and I'm excited for what other videos you will upload.
