The Enigma Variations
Salem Philharmonia Orchestra · East Salem Community Center · Salem, Oregon
Program
- Harry Warren The Crystal Lake
- Antonín Dvořák The Golden Spinning Wheel, B.197. Op.109
- Edward Elgar Enigma Variations, Op. 36
Running time: about 56 min (estimate from the works' usual timings; not every piece has one)
Worth the drive: Elgar's set of orchestral variations portrays fourteen friends (and himself) through musical caricature, anchored by the beloved slow movement "Nimrod." The piece opens with a wistful, halting theme in G minor, quiet and searching, that will return transformed in each variation. More about Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, Op. 36 →
