1890 --- 1962 1
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.
His composition style is one of elegant and concise music with some unusual harmonies.
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 and 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.
Ibert died in 1962.
