Thierry Pécou'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 Pécou in this composition, however, was not to just imitate 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 playing skilfully with the original sound spectrum of the gamelan gongs.

L’idée de cette œuvre est venue au compositeur en entendant un orchestre de gamelans à l’Expo de Shangai 2010. Mais il ne s’agissait pas pour Pécou d’imiter simplement les styles de Bali ou de Java mais de donner une réponse personnelle à la profonde impression que lui laissaient les sonorités exotiques.
