Guise Jean François deBagatelle pour quintette à vent op. 17, no. 8Composed in the tradition of French modernism, this piece, "Bagatelle pour quintette à vent" (2015), is one of those works that completely dispense with extended playing techniques.These works are made to harken back to that era and provide ensembles with compositions that, while similar in difficulty to their larger "siblings," are nowhere near as extensive. For this reason, the rehearsal effort for the ensembles will be manageable, leaving time to work on other pieces in parallel.This piece is particularly suitable for the youth competitions. An impressive sonority, the recognizability of the individual motives let the listener get into the music from the beginning. The rhythmic elaboration also impresses immediately. Although there are several calmly flowing passages in the piece, the ones that remain in the memory are the ones that sound complicated and intricate. Jean François de Guise also manages at the end, traditionally and yet in his very own way, to set a spectacular final point, which is formed by a furioso and a single note of the bassoon. The piece ends as it began, abruptly.fl, ob, clar, horn, fagscore & 5 parts / 34 pages
Guise Jean François deFantasy for Woodwind Quintet op. 17, no. 23Fantasy 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.fl, ob, clar, hn, fagscore & 5 parts / 45 pages
Guise Jean François deWind Quintet op. 17, no. 18The 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.fl, ob, clar, hn, fagscore & 5 parts / 33 pages
Guise Jean François deWoodwind Quintet op. 17, No. 9The work Woodwind Quintet op.17, No.9 was composed in 2015.The work presents itself very melodious and warm in sound, although it definitely uses a contemporary tonal language. All instruments are used according to their timbre, which additionally strengthens the traditional impression the composition gives.The bassoon's opening motif is taken over in fragments in the other voices, changed further and further and developed rhythmically.In this way, a piece of chamber music gradually emerges that captivates its listeners. That the work has a short duration is peculiar to most of Jean François de Guise's works. Especially with such a piece, one would wish to hear more. But, sometimes less is more.Fl, Ob, Clar, Hn, Fagscore & 5 parts / 52 pages
