A sextet (or hexad) is a formation containing exactly six members. It is commonly associated with vocal or musical instrument groups, but can be applied to any situation where six similar or related objects are considered a single unit. Many musical compositions are named for the number of musicians for which they are written. If a piece is written for six performers, it may be called a “sextet.” Steve Reich’s “Sextet” is written for six percussionists. Listen: Sextet
