Jager
wrote Mumblety-Peg (Children's Games)
for the Cumberland Quintet in 1993. Each movement
is a musical description relating to everyday childrens
games. Fresh sounding as well as intellectual,
they employ many different compositional techniques
such as minimalish, 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.

notes of "Shadows and Dreams"
