JAQUES IBERT

15thAugust 1890 --- 5thFebruary 1962

Jaques Ibert born in 1890, he was director of the Villa Medici,  the school of Prix de Rome, he held this post for a number of
years, from roughly 1910 to 1920's he made a living as a private teacher and sometimes he was a an accompanist and even
played as  a cinema pianist,  it was around this  time he  started composing  songs,  but he joined  the Navy during  the first
world war so did little until the end of the war but in 1919 he won first place in the Prix de Rome.

He wrote Divertissement for Orchestra in 1930,  this piece processes  all the  qualities that  make his music  so outstanding.

His composition  style is one of  elegant and  concise music with  some unusual harmonies but  Ibert did  not prefer any one
style as he felt that all musical styles were valid.

In his opera works notably Le Roi d'Yvetot he  writes this piece  in his own comic style,  he applies the same  witty brilliance
characterises to his saxophone, flute & cello concertos, and also the Sinfonia Concertante for the oboe, Escales for orchestra
and his piano pieces, Histories.

Ibert revels a more profound side of his work,  for example in his string quartet and his Chevalier Errant which  was an epic
for large orchestra. This is a very underrated composer who deserves more recognition of his musical mastery.

Ibert died in 1962.
