Stream for Clarinet and String Quartet (2015) was commissioned by the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society in celebration of its 30th Anniversary Season, through support of The William Penn Foundation. The first performance was in April 2016 at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. Notes from the composer: The 'line' in Stream is often threaded together into a chain made up of separate 'points' played by the strings, and sometimes by the string and the clarinet. An analogy might be that each instrument, at times, produces a single 'ray of light' from within the larger light source. Moreover, there are many passages where the intended effect is that of the strings providing a 'halo' surrounding the solo clarinet. Similarly, the clarinet often dovetails with, as well as emerges or submerges in and out of, a strand in the string music..What's in a name?   In my titles, I generally aim to capture something that I believe to be essential about the particular work.  At some level this is to offer an entry-point for the listener, a glimpse of the composition in its totality.  STREAM as a title came to be when much of the music was already fully composed, and it encapsulates much of what I wish to say in words about this work: it suggests flow - whether gentle or forceful; it implies a journey, one that could take us onto unexpected terrains yet is always moving forward; embedded into this word is also the idea of stream of consciousness, and with it, free association and unexpected twists of fancy. Approximately 16 minutes in duration, STREAM is to be played without a break, yet there are strong elements of a three-movement structure here. An expository quasi-first-movement lays out important materials of varying character; the middle part, suggesting contrast and repose, is initially slow and reflective, but then embarks on new explorations of the notion of stasis, while the final movement is dominated by fast-moving music of high energy that consolidates the previous materials. Important throughout is the way in which seemingly transitional stretches of music emerge and propel the music onward in ways that are at once unexpected and fantastical. A composer's statement about this work would not be complete without acknowledging the degree to which the work was inspired by the awareness that it was being created for a quintet of extraordinary performers of the most beautiful and flowing musicianship - clarinet virtuoso Anthony McGill and the intrepid Brentano Quartet. Shulamit Ran .

The work opens with a stern fanfare in bare fifths, which leads to a cantabile theme introduced by alto saxophone. This builds to a climax and reintroduces the fanfare, which slowly evolves into the subsequent vivo. A perky tune emerges on flute, saxophone and trumpet, which, after a short bridge passage, leads to a contrasting melody on low clarinets and saxophones. After some development a true ‘second subject’ appears for the whole band. A recapitulation leads briefly back to the opening fanfare before the vivo returns to close the work in celebratory mood.Het werk begint met een sobere fanfare in open kwinten, gevolgd door een zangerig thema dat wordt ge ntroduceerd door de altsaxofoon. Dit thema groeit uit tot een climax en leidt opnieuw de fanfare in, die zich langzaam ontwikkelt tot het daaropvolgende vivo. Er verschijnt een opgewekte melodie in de fluit, saxofoon en trompet, die na een korte overgangspassage uitmondt in een contrasterende melodie in de lage klarinetten en saxofoons. Na een verdere uitwerking openbaart zich een tweede thema voor het complete orkest. Een herneming voert ons even weer mee naar de openingsfanfare, voordat het vivo terugkeert en het werk in feestelijke stemming afsluit.Nach einer ernsten Fanfare in bloßen Quinten, die zu einem Thema in cantabile im Altsaxophon führt, taucht eine kecke Melodie in Flöte, Saxophon und Trompete auf, die nach einer kurzen Überleitung zu einer kontrastierenden Melodie in den tiefen Klarinetten und Saxophonen wird. Ein zweites Thema“ spielt das gesamte Blasorchester. Bevor ein Vivo aus dem Anfangsteil Southend Celebration beendet, werden längst alle Musiker und Zuhörer von der festlichen Stimmung, die es verbreitet, infiziert sein!L’œuvre s’ouvre avec une fanfare de nature sérieuse en quintes qui mène un thème cantabile introduit par les saxophones alto. La musique s’amplifie pour atteindre un certain climax et réintroduire la fanfare, qui évolue progressivement vers un vivo. Fl tes, saxophones et trompettes introduisent un air guilleret qui, après un court passage de transition, aboutit une mélodie contrastée dans le registre grave des clarinettes et saxophones. Après un développement, un véritable second sujet apparaît pour l’orchestre entier. Une récapitulation mène une brève réapparition de la fanfare d’ouverture avant le retour du vivo, qui achève la pièce dans une ambiance de fête.Il lavoro si apre con un’austera fanfara con quinte vuote, che porta a un tema cantabile introdotto da un saxofono contralto. Si arriva a un culmine e si introduce nuovamente la fanfara, che lentamente evolve nel ‘vivo’ successivo. Un tema vivace emerge dal flauto, dal sassofono e dalla tromba, e dopo un breve passaggio di transizione, porta a una melodia contrastante, dei clarinetti bassi e dei sassofoni. Dopo qualche sviluppo un vero ‘secondo soggetto’ sorge dall’intera banda. Una ripresa porta brevemente indietro alla fanfara, prima che il ‘vivo’ ritorni per chiudere il lavoro in modo celebrativo.
