WOODWIND QUINTET
Chen Yi
About this work:
The creative inspiration of my Woodwind Quintet came from the booming tide of the Chaoyin Cave in the Putuo Mountain located in southeastern China; the dull chanting from the Buddhist nunnery; the reciting of tunes played by Xiao, a Chinese traditional woodwind instrument; and the rude, primitive roaring by Changjian, a Tibetan low-range wind instrument. The first performance was given by The Composers Conference Ensemble, directed by Efrain Guigui, at Wellesley College, MA, on Aug. 5, 1987.
