Product information "Guise, Jean François de - Wind Quintet Op. 17, No. 18"

Guise Jean François de
Wind Quintet
 op. 17, no. 18

The work, from 2018, takes on the classical instrumentation of a woodwind quintet.
The arrangement freely follows tradition, but makes use of serial sound patterns, which are carried forward by multiple rhythms.
In the further course of the piece, soloistic passages take up space before the ensemble raises points of sound which continue to thin out until the end and finally find their end in a single note.
Jean François de Guise here gives wide scope to the compositional architecture, but does not abandon his conviction that the music is also justified.
Thus, both the "new music enthusiast" and the casual listener can expect something from the piece and find something of interest.
