Commissioned by and dedicated to the Mid American Conference Band Directors Association, my WIND for wind ensemble was premiered by the Bowling Green Wind Symphony, conducted by Prof. Bruce Moss, at the 31st annual New Music Festival on October 23, 2010, at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
The Chinese character pronounced feng, shown on the cover of this publication, can mean wind, or the winds and can also mean view, folk songs, style, and manner. I use a Western wind ensemble to sound the Eastern feeling of the winds in this work, which consists of two movements: Introduction and Rondo.
