Ever since I stumbled across a CD of Rick Sowash's "Chamber Music with Clarinet" sometime during the early 1990's, I've been a fan. By my rough count of his catalog, he's now composed over 30 works that feature clarinet, including works for clarinet solo, clarinet and string quartet, numerous trios and now a concerto. He has a unique style that I can only describe by saying, if Grandma Moses had composed music, I think this is what it would sound like. You can hear the entire concerto (as well as several other of his works) for free at:

The site also includes a link to download a free pdf version of the clarinet part.
Enjoy.
Best regards,
jnk

We have performed Sowash's "View from Carew" (the second movement of the concerto) with our woodwind trio, and it's a piece that I'd heartily recommend for any of you that are looking for additional literature to perform. It's particularly flexible in that the cello part can easily be played on bassoon (that's how we performed it) I have enjoyed Rick's work and look forward to other things that will hopefully be coming from this prolific Cincinnatti composer.
