“Flutes on holiday 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 light melody. 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.”.

“Despite his studies being interrupted by WWI, Jacques Ibert won the Grand Prix de Rome on his first attempt, proving his significant compositional ability, such as his Concerto for Flute and Orchestra. Ibert's Concerto for Flute was composed in 1934, at the height of his professional career. The work is lighthearted, depicting the composer's favoured use of gentle humour and festivity. These are, however, contrasted by lyrical and evocative passages. Suitable for advanced level flautists, and containing the full orchestral score, this edition of Ibert's Concerto for Flute is a clear, pleasant and varied addition to the Flute's repertoire.”.
