Voix Grave-Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before embarking upon a successful composing career. The film Don Quichotte increased his popularity when he composed the musical score in 1933. Controversially the producers of Don Quichotte asked five composers separately to compose songs for the film. Each composer thought only he had been approached and when Ibert's music was eventually chosen for the film it caused him some embarrassment as Maurice Ravel who had also been approached was a close friend of his. Chanson De La Mort comes toward the end of the film whenthe main character Don Quichotte receives a great shock and dies. Addressing a variety of musical aspects and techniques Ibert's Chanson De La Mort is a challenging yet evocative addition to the Bass repertoire.

Written for the French flautist Marcel Moyse it is rated as difficult and is composed of three movements: Allegro Andante and Allegro Scherzando.
