A variation of Nimrod was featured prominently in the WWII movie Dunkirk. Hans Zimmer can be said to have ripped off Holst extensively for Gladiator. In the case of Dunkirk, the homage (imitation being the sincerest form of flattery) is perhaps appropriate - what’s the harm in borrowing a British composer’s work for a British epic?

I had to look this up. One comment says that this is the best version they’ve heard in 70 years of listening.

(And this is a fabulous theater.)

Pleasant article. But if you take a look at the score — easiest in piano reduction, as needed — the ground bass and melody above are together the very inspired “theme.” One of them or the other appears in many guises, the purpose and reasoning behind variation forms.

Here's a link for a two-piano version. Happy reading.
