Concertino
Da Camera, written in
1935 by Jacques Ibert
(1890-1962), is a small
concerto for Alto
Saxophone and sax
ensemble: 1 sopranino, 2
sopranos, 3 altos, 2
tenors, 2 baritones and 1
bass. This concertino in
two movements, Allegro
con moto and Larghetto
Animato Molto, is
dedicated to the
saxophonist Sigurd
Rascher and is notable
for its large use of the
Alto-Saxophone. It can be
technically challenging
and has a strong lyrical
part. This volume
features the parts for
all instruments as well
as the full score. Its
author, Jacques Ibert
(1890-1962), is a
neoclassical composer who
won the Prix de Rome in
1919. He composed many
symphonic suites, operas
and seven orchestras,
including 'Angelique'
(1926) and
'Divertissement' (1930).
He was also in charge of
the Accadémie de
France in the Villa
Médicis (Roma) and
was later administrator
for the Paris Opera. This
concerto has some
similarities with his
Flute Concerto (1934),
also published by
Alphonse Leduc.
