Examples from texts

Marthe could hear all that was said, for Madame de Condamin had a clear flute-Uke voice. She dallied over the recital of her sins, and quite animated the confessional with her pretty gossiping ways.
Marthe devait tout entendre, car madame de Condamin avait une voix de flûte; elle bavardait ses péchés, elle animait le confessionnal d'un commérage adorable.

And it was so warm, too, beside the big laurel-bush, in the corner where the streamlet of water ever fell with flute-like music from the gaping, tragic mask.
Et surtout il faisait si tiède, à côté du grand laurier, dans l’angle où se trouvait la fontaine ! L’eau mince coulait sans fin de l’énorme bouche béante du masque tragique avec sa chanson de flûte.

The breath of her soul rose and fell among the syllables as sound is divided by the notes of a flute; it died away to the ear as it quickened the pulsation of the blood.
Le souffle de son âme se déployait dans les replis des syllabes, comme le son se divise sous les clefs d’une flûte; il expirait onduleusement à l’oreille d’où il précipitait l’action du sang.

They pushed and shook him, amid peal after peal of flute-like laughter, while their father and mother rushed to his assistance, scolding and angry.
Ils le poussaient, le secouaient, avec des rires, des rires encore, égrenant sans fin des notes de flûte. Le père et la mère s’étaient précipités à son secours, indignes, grondant.

It seemed to them that soft, flute-like music went before them, that their own words came from some dulcet orchestra which they could not see.
Il leur semblait qu'un chant de flûte les précédait, que leurs paroles leur venaient d'un orchestre suave qu'ils ne voyaient point.

As he drew near a faint breath, like the far-away piping of a flute, was wafted to him.
Alors, à mesure qu’il se rapprocha, il saisit un souffle léger, comme un air de flûte qui venait de loin.

When noted jazz flutist James Newton plays, the transition between his humming, singing, breathing, and flute playing is so seamless it all sounds like one magical instrument.
Le célèbre flûtiste James Newton peut successivement fredonner, chanter, respirer dans son instrument, puis en jouer de façon classique. L'effet produit est proprement magique.

At their feet flowed the brook, a silver streak gliding noiselessly over the sand; here and there were little waterfalls whose crystal tones seemed as though they proceeded from a shepherd's flute.
À leurs pieds coulait le ruisseau, un filet d’argent qui fuyait silencieusement sur le sable; il y avait, de loin en loin, de petites chutes dont les bruits de cristal semblaient sortir d’une flûte champêtre.

Albine, who went first, turned, and in her flute-like voice asked her companion: 'What do you like best? Pears, apricots, cherries, or currants?
Albine qui marchait la première, les jupes entre les jambes, se retournait, demandait à son compagnon, de sa voix flûtée: - Qu'est-ce que tu aimes, toi? les poires, les abricots, les cerises, les groseilles?...

I don't think I was dedicated enough to go any further with the flute, my temperament prevented me from playing it any better.
Je pense que je ne m'y suis pas assez attaché pour aller plus loin avec la flûte, que mon tempérament m'empêchait d'en jouer mieux.

Then she laughed yet more sonorously, pouring forth rippling scales of high-pitched, flute-like notes that melted into deeper ones.
Et elle riait, plus sonore, avec des gammes perlées de petites notes de flûte, très aigues, qui se noyaient dans un ralentissement de sons graves.

A flute-like voice which disturbed the Abbe rose in vexed and hurried accents, which finally died away in a burst of glee.
Une voix de flûte qui troubla l'abbé, se fâchait, parlant vite, se perdant au milieu d'une bouffée de gaieté.

And, all at once, the shrill voice of a little girl, light and vivacious as the notes of a flute, rose above the universal sob, repeating in the distance: "Save the others, save the others, Lord Jesus!"
Une voix aiguë de petite fille, d’une légèreté et d’une vivacité de flûte, dominait le sanglot universel, répétait au loin : « Sauvez les autres, sauvez les autres, Seigneur Jésus ! »
