The creative inspiration for "Woodwind Quintet" came from the booming tide of the Chayin Cave in the Putuo Mountain located in southeastern China: the dull chanting from the Buddhist nunnery; the reciting 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 August 5, 1987.—Chen Yi.
