‘THE STREAM FLOWS | SOLOVIOLA BRIGHT SHENG THE STREAM FLOWS FOR SOLO VIOLA G. SCHIRMER, Inc. es ff HAL*LEONARD®This work was commissioned by the violist Marlow Fisher. The first performance was given by Li Kuo Chang in Chicago, in 1991 The Stream Flows is based on a well-known Chinese folk song from the southern part of China. The freshness, and richness of the tune deeply touched me when I first heat in several of my works, In this setting, the sound of the viola should evoke the timbre, and tone quality of a female folk singer. Since then, I have used it as basic material ‘THE STREAM FLOWS. ‘The rising moon shines brightly, it reminds me of my love in the mountains. Like the moon, you walk in the sky, asthe crystal stream flows down the mountain A clear breeze blows up the hill. My love, do you hear lam calling you? —Bright Sheng buy ation cag minutes Information on Bright Sheng and his works is available at www. schirmer.comViola THE STREAM FLOWS Bright Sheng — ~ Peat fife = ited by Federal law and subject to criminal prosecution.On ee pete teens Huy . a SSS ee te 4 has ¢BRIGHT SHENG THE STREAM FLOWS (SOLO VIOLA) G.
