Feng
for woodwind quintet
by Chen Yi (b. 1953) - Chinese violinist and composer
The character "feng" in Chinese means "wind" or "the winds", and also "view, folk songs, style, and manner." I used the five standard Western wind instruments to sound the Eastern feeling of the winds in the quintet Feng.
