Guise Jean François de
Octet
for chamber ensemble
op. 23, no. 4 (2017)

This piece, conceived as an octet for flute, percussion, melody percussion, piano and string trio, was inspired in 2017 by the Hungarian composer and conductor Péter Eötvös.
As percussionists demand more and more literature that requires virtuosity on many instruments at the same time, Jean François de Guise decided to create this piece as an octet.
But, it is equally possible to perform this piece as a chamber ensemble by distributing the percussion, timpani and marimba among several players.

Flute, clarinet in Bb, cowbell cymbals tam-tam, snare drum bass drum, quads tom-toms cymbals, temple blocks tom-toms, wood block, timpani marimba, piano,
violin, viola, cello.

Note: The division into the indicated octet instrumentation is not mandatory.
The percussion parts can be divided among several players.
