Dear Tom,
Is the "Ballad in Memory of Shirley Horn" published? By whom? I imagine it is for clarinet and piano. What a versatile musician Richard Rodney Bennet was. He will be missed.

Tangential note: Washington DC-based jazz pianist/vocalist Shirley Horn used to run a little jam session in a restaurant in town, I sat in a couple of times (on tenor sax) but found it to be a very uncomfortable situation. She seemed very introverted and not at all friendly and just about every tune was a sloooowwwww ballad, the type of song she favored. We were dying to play something up-tempo but it never happened, so I quit going to the sessions.
Back on topic.....

RIP Sir Richard, a fine composer.
Shirley Horn was one of the great singer/pianists of 20th Century jazz, whose brilliant stylings of the great American songbook, which were often, but not always, performed at an astonishing glacial pace, influenced many of the great jazz artists of our time, including Miles Davis, who credited her with many of the concepts behind his great 1950's first quintet.
Sir Richard and Ms Horn were certainly a marvelous combination, I will have to seek this piece out.
