Description:
In celebration of its 75th anniversary season; the Tanglewood Music Center commissioned a mixed quartet from Shulamit Ran; resulting in this work's original 2015 scoring for Bb Clarinet; Violin; Cello; and Piano. Birkat Haderekh (in either scoring) may be heard as a 'prayer without words' in which the saxophone and clarinet figure most prominently in cantillation-inspired cadenzas that frame the work and dramatically emerge throughout. The present sextet scoring was created in 2016 for Latitude 49's world premiere at the Ear Taxi Festival in Chicago.
