K544 Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 This is a little tangential, but I liked it so much I felt like sharing it. On a quick errand out of the office, I just heard (on my car radio) Elgar's Nimrod variation sung by an a capella choir. Sung very well. And you know what? It's just as wondrously beautiful that way as in the original. What a piece!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabal Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Oh, THAT Nimrod. I was hoping you were referring to the Album by Green Day ( A Rock Group, for all the Rock-impaired.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringDad Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 And I thought you were just really pissed off at someone... what a NIMROD I am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primrose84 Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 i like both of those nimrods...what a fun word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicaelaB Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 In the same vein, has anyone heard Barber's arrangement of his Adagio for Strings for chorus? It's beautiful but in one recording I heard the tempo has to be sped up enough (for breath support, I guess) that it should be called Allegretto non troppo. (really he set it to words, it's an agnus dei). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
