Nolan said Nimrod us usually played in ceremonies and funerals and whenever he hears it he is reminded of the weight of his father's coffin. Not that his father was moved by it at a funeral!
I think the way they incorporated Nimrod into the score is brilliant and clever. All through the movie you hear it in the background, dark and cold, played by a solo instrument like a cry for help. But in very specific heroic moments it goes fully orchestral and it heightens the emotions to the max. Stripping the score of emotion and sentimentality made those moments have a greater effect on the viewer.
And yeah I think 'Variation 15' is great so is 'Home'.
