With music for Flute Quartets being most commonly rearranged for the ensemble it is unusual that a work is originally composed for that precise instrumentation. It is for that reason that Pierre Max Dubois' Quatuor for Flutes has been considerably well-received. As a student of Darius Milhaud Dubois brought ideas of Les Six of which Milhaud was a member into the mid-1900s. Dubois' compositions are characteristically light with interesting and unusual harmonic and melodic textures as conveyed in this Quatuor for Flutes. With all four parts being technically demanding exploiting extendedtechniques to the maximum this piece provides a challenging but enjoyable performance. Moreover including a full score and separate parts this edition is ideal. With few pieces for this instrumentation exisitng as original compositions all Flute Quartets must ensure they try out Dubois' enticing four-movement piece.

Bresnick's award-winning Conspiracies is an exploration of the flute's broad capacity for music-making, using spatial concepts and contemporary techniques. Written for solo flute and "four other flutes," it can be presented by five live performers or by a solo flute and pre-recorded tracks. Conspiracies has been recorded by Robert Dick (1982) and more recently by Patti Monson (2000), a one-time student of Dick's.

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.

for Flute and Piano-La chaleur de la journée s?atténue peu à peu alors que le soleil plonge lentement derrière l?horizon. Un éblouissant spectacle met en scène des jaunes vibrants des oranges lumineux et des rouges brûlants qui illuminent le début de soirée alors quedéjà apparaissent les premières nuances bleutées et pourpres synonymes de fraîcheur. Ces inoubliables couchers de soleil ont inspiré Jan de Haan lorsqu?il a composé cette pièce pour instrument à vent diverses et piano.
