Allegro con moto from Concertino Da Camera              Jacques Ibert

Jacques Ibert began studying the dramatic arts before turning to music.  He believed that music was closely linked to the other arts, and was part of a larger emotional response to all aspects of experience, the "expression of an interior adventure."  He employed the moods and techniques of Impressionism along with the structure of neo-Classicism.  In 1935, Ibert composed his Concertino Da Camera for alto saxophone, which is often considered one of the greatest works in the saxophone repertoire.    Ashu
