Nimrod From 'Enigma Variations' Andrew Glover

Command Series

The Barnhouse Command Series includes works at grade levels 2, 2.5, and 3. This series is designed for middle school and junior high school bands, as well as high school bands of smaller instrumentation or limited experience. Command Series publications have a slightly larger instrumentation than the Rising Band Series, and are typically of larger scope, duration, and musical content.


Sir Edward Elgar's Nimrod, from Enigma Variations, is one of the finest and most beloved works by a British composer. Andrew Glover has expertly arranged this moving work for the Barnhouse Command series, so that younger musicians may experience the music of this master composer. An outstanding choice to teach lyrical playing, blend, balance, intonation, and musicianship, this is an exceptional choice for young bands. Superb!
