Thierry Pecou's demanding Sextet for piano and wind quintet can be played by students and professional ensembles alike. The composer got his inspiration to write this piece from listening to a gamelan orchestra at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai. What mattered to Pecou in this composition, however, was not just imitating the music styles of Bali or Java. The Sextet rather gives a very personal answer to the intensive impression the exotic sounds had made on the composer. Smoothly flowing lines in the flute part emerge next to fine-tuned chord clusters, echoing the original sound spectrum of gamelan gongs.
