“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.â€.

This setting of the beautiful holiday song is accessible for very young bands. All melody sections are in comfortable ranges and the background parts are very interesting and yet, not difficult. All instruments get the melody at some point. Written in bridge form, it begins softly, with soft sleigh bells and clarinets below the break, adding flutes, then brass, then building to a minor section and a very short percussion feature. The section at m. 61 features bell tones under the melody and definitely will put the listener in the holiday spirit! The piece then slowly decrescendos back from where it came, to clarinets in the low register and soft sleigh bells. A good opportunity to teach the students about bridge form. Be sure to keep the same tempo throughout, and although you will want to start softly, keep enough air moving to have good tones in the beginning and closing sections. Time spent on the fp bell tones will really make this setting sparkle! Lots of percussion, but feel free to add more if you need to keep everyone participating. It can also be performed with just a few percussionists, but make sure you cover the sleigh bell part!.This setting of the beautiful holiday song is accessible for very young bands.
