Woodwind Quintet No. 3 was commissioned by the Upper New York State's Humanities Corridor through a Mellon Foundation grant and was premiered by the Antara Winds on September 20, 2008 in Kilbourn Hall as part of the Music & Globalization symposium at the Eastman School of Music in New York. The work is written in three movements for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon. The authentic folk music from China West has amazed and inspired the composer to write this piece, which has folk music elements drawn from the folk songs Du Mu and Amaliehuo of the Zang People; Ashima of the Yi People; and Dou Duo and the Lusheng ensemble music of the Miao People.
