Feng was commissioned by the San Francisco Citywinds with a Chamber Music America commissioning award. The world premiere was given on January 13, 1999, at St. John's Presbyterian Church in Berkeley; the New York premiere was on January 17 at St. Malachi's/The Actors' Chapel at the CMA Commissioning Showcase concert. The character feng in Chinese means wind or the winds, also view, folk songs, style and manner... I use five standard western wind instruments to sound the eastern feeling of the winds in the quintet Feng, which consists of two movements: Introduction and Rondo. The duration is about 12 minutes. --Chen Yi.
