An old composer and a young singer meet under the shadow of the Great War. When a world is shattered, pieces of it live on. 

 

I mainly used Lena Ashwell: Actress, Painter, Pioneer and Elgar's Baritone, along with other selections from the journals of The Elgar Society. Full list of sources available at https://www.theendspodcast.com/episodes/nimrod

This evening's playbill includes Philipp Weigl's Even when we fall, Kai Engel's Better Way, David Szesztay's Oldie Song, and a grand finale of Nimrod, as performed by the RFCM Orchestra. Outro is Podington Bear's Afterglow.
