Third Suite

Composed in 1966, this three movement work is performed regularly in contests and festivals as well as on concert band programs globally. The unique setting of this original work provides subtle challenges to the performers and conductor with enhanced interest for the listener. The movements are March—non-characteristically scored in alternating 4/4 and 3/4 time, Waltz—similarly juxtaposed in alternating 3/4 and 2/4 time, and the raucous Rondo. Robert Jager's Third Suite—a distinctive work with charming character. (8:45)
