Guise Jean François de
Fantasy for Woodwind Quintet
 op. 17, no. 23

Fantasy for Woodwind Quintet, a piece in which the rhythmic structure is in the foreground, was written in 2021.
Here the composer incorporates motifs that are only indirectly related and, at first glance, are meant to seem improvisatory.
However, a musical link here is the extended 12-tone technique used.
12-tone technique. Also, the notated articulation and dynamic balance are to be taken as important as the structure of the work itself.
The resulting sound structure, however, has the overall effect of a classically composed work and certainly holds traditional forms and tone colors in store for the listener.
In this piece, too, Jean François de Guise sticks to using first the possibilities of the instruments and those of their players before expanding these limits with more advanced playing techniques.
