Dray loved the Nimrod variation by Edward Elgar, ever since he first performed it at the 2017 YOLA National Festival in Los Angeles at Walt Disney Hall. This version was arranged and performed by the 2018 YOLA National Festival basses just a few months after his passing, conducted by LA Phil music director, Gustavo Dudamel.
