According to the preface by Jan Joris Nieuwenhuis “this piece has charming melodies and daring instrumentation with a natural feeling for wind instruments. The final movement, the bolera, is particularly noteworthy.” Jadassohn was a composition teacher at the Leipzip Conservatory for many years. His many students included Edvard Grieg, Frederick Delius and Ferruccio Busoni.

Jager, Robert E. (1939- )

Mumblety-Peg (Children’s Games) (1994)

Cleveland: Ludwig Music 1995

Kalmus

From liner notes from the Cumberland Quintet’s recording: “Each movement is a musical description relating to everyday children’s games. Fresh sounding as well as intellectual, they employ many different compositional techniques such as minimalism, an actual ‘tag,’ and a Scottish snap. The last movement, ‘Musical Chairs,’ provides theatrical possibilities as the players leave the stage one by one. Finally, the bassoonist is left alone to play a ‘victory’ cadenza. The other players sneak up and startle him out of his musings with the final chord.” See also: http://rjager.com/

Artia / Barenreiter

Flute doubles piccolo. According to Grove Music Online, the third movement includes material from a work for piccolo and piano called “March of the Bluebirds” (Pochod Modráčků), also composed in 1924.

Composed in 1924, Janáček wrote Mladi for his 70th birthday. It was premiered in Brno on October 21 by faculty of the Brno Conservatory. It’s an attractive, virtuosic sounding work, fun for players and audience. Recommended. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Tambourine part,ad lib. Movements: Sarabumbals; Martinu dancis (Mummers’ dance); Gaismina ausa (The dawn); Garais dancis (The long dance); Kazu dancis (Wedding dance). Duration: 10:00. See a biography: https://www.musicabaltica.com/en/composers-and-authors/andrejs-jansons/ and https://prabook.com/web/andrejs.jansons/382450

Davyd Breeskin shares that “‘Lettish’ (which invites awful puns about salads) is equivalent to ‘Latvian’. …Hornist must be comfortable with bass clef (sounding a 5th lower). Not otherwise difficult except for the (lengthy) finale, in 5/8 time. The tambourine appears only in the 2nd and 5th movements, in the 2nd movement, the oboist is to play it, but in the 5th movement, a separate player is (apparently) required.”

Wind Quintet No. 3

No date of composition or of a publisher is given. The Quintet No. 2 is for strings.

also:

Variations, Scherzo and Finale for Nonet op. 45a, (1943)

Although it appears to be unpublished, oddly it appears to have been premiered on Feb. 16, 1969, in Birmingham, Alabama. I cannot confirm the instrumentation.

Serenade for Wind Instruments, Op. 47 (1944)

Likely unpublished. It was premiered on February 15, 1945, in Prague by members of the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Alois Klíma. After World War II, the communist Czechoslovak government banned any performances of Jirák’s music and confiscated his property and his musical and literary income. Whether this and other pre-war works were also confiscated and/or destroyed is unknown, but could be a good investigative project for an enterprizing Czech musicologist.

Online notes describe the work as atonal with complex rhythms. “Yet something magical happens when writing for winds: because of the weak timbre contact between the different instruments, one can write complex textures without losing clarity. One can write dissonant harmonies without having them sound harsh and grating. In fact, there are moments of surprising beauty here. Take for instance the ‘color canons,’ passages combining all instruments in clusters whose harmonic and rhythmic motion is essentially static, but which shimmer with ever-changing timbres.” “The title translates – inexactly – to ‘Keeper of Heaven,’ or ‘Starry Watchman,’ or ‘Celestial Caretaker,’ and refers to an imaginary character whose task it is to walk about the heavens at sunset and turn on the stars….”
