Quatre Pièces pour trois Flûtes avec une 4è Flûte ad lib.-Flutes En Vacances by Jacques Castérède was written in 1962 for three or four Flutes. Each Flute part is quite difficult on this quartet and would be for advanced-intermediate / advanced flautists. This piece features four sections each one expressing a different mood: Flûtes Pastorales is quite calm with some enthusiastic highlights Flûtes Joyeuses reflects a very joyful part with a small dance in the middle Flûtes rêveuses sounds timeless and reminiscent of a theme of Castérède’s 'Twelve Studies' and Flûtes Légères has a fast and lightmelody. Jacques Castérède (1926-2014) is a renowned composer and pianist. He has won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1953 and has composed numerous melodic pieces including ballets concertos symphonies ensemble and chamber music.

Jour D’été À La Montagne by Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) is a famous Flute Quartet published in 1955. Technically and musically challenging this piece was written for advanced flautists. Summer days in the mountain was composed in four movements: 1. Pastorale 2. Au bord du torrent 3. Le Chant des fôrets 4. Ronde. These four movements are all well-crafted to captivate the attention of the flautists (with their technicality tempo and musicality) but also those of the audience. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as theFirst Prizes for the Violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas chamber works and ballets among others.
