Movement: in one movement
Program Notes:
As the title suggests, Shimmer and Flow contains two contrasting types of music, the first soulful, mysterious and "shimmering", and the second fast-paced and flowing. In the slow introduction, the clarinet and cello blend and merge into each other's sound at times, then accelerate wildly into the pulse-oriented main section of the piece. The work was commissioned by Harry and Ann Santen for clarinetist Ixi Chen and cellist Ted Nelson who premiered the work on Cincinnati's Concert: Nova series.
