Hi David, Thank you SO MUCH for including the (incredibly underrated) Jager Symphony #1! It's an incredible work for band. As a former student of his at Tennessee Tech, I must clarify though: his name is pronounced "Jay-ger," not "Yay-ger." It's sort of a running gag at this point for those of us who were Jager students. :-)
