This “adagio” movement from the Enigma Variations provides an excellent opportunity for developing bands to work on tone, blend, intonation, and dynamics. Jay Bocook's arrangement is designed for smaller bands and features flexible scoring options to fit most any ensemble.

This is recorded way too fast, sounds much better slower

totally agree. It's marked at 60 beats per minute; this is about 100, almost a Gypsy Tap......

We used Enigma Variations for our 2019 marching band show, and we used this mvmt as a ballad. Brings tears to my eyes knowing I am graduating this year. And this song always floods my eyes and my heart with memories..

Beautiful, but I personally like it a tad slower...

I mean this is one of those pieces where the SLOWER you go, the more beautiful it becomes

@@iangreer4585 lmao fancy seeing you here. My thought on the matter is - this is for grades 2-3. A lot of kids those ages won't be able to play this slowly with much precision, but if the band director thinks that they can go slower, then they probably should.

I like it slower too, but I know from experience this is a HECK of a blow for the winds in its orchestral form and I wouldn't want to put my winder plays at that tempo. My guess is this is sped up to make breathing easier

I played this in a Concert Band way back in about 1981 and we played it at about 86 BPM (Beats Per Minute), much slower than this one. In the KZbin "Settings" you can change the playback speed. I used "custom" at 0.85 speed.

I can’t describe the feeling I feel when I hear this

Good GOD! Who set the tempo on this recording? It destroyed the entire atmosphere of the piece. Elgar wrote this to express a great loss in his life and this sounds like a MARCH! I see others as well as I have noted the tempo. Nice arrangement (although a bit thin scoring wise) but it would really come to life MUCH MUCH slower. Check our the verson done by the Marine Band "Presiden'ts Own". Absolutely PERFECT tempo and interpretation. Sheesh.....Dr. Z (Lou)
