Used to describe any group of seven, not just people, which can include objects or elements.

Group Compositions

Can be used metaphorically in literature to represent completeness or perfection, much like the number seven itself.

Literary Device

Remember, 'septet' does not exclusively imply a music group, contrary to terms like 'quartet' often do.

In music, 'septet' specifies exactly seven performers; adding or removing one changes the group type.

A musical septet can consist of different instruments, not limited to one type like strings or brass.

The term 'septet' is common in classical and jazz, but it's not genre-specific. It's about the number of players.
