Description
Jacques Ibert (1890-1962), a graduate of the Paris Conservatoire, was director of the French Academy in Rome from 1937 to 1960. During World War I, Ibert was an officer in the French navy. His experiences traveling the Mediterranean as a naval officer were reflected in one of his best-known orchestral works, Escales (Ports of Call). Ibert was generally "modern" but non-doctrinaire in his approach to composition. Histoires, originally composed for piano solo in 1919-1920, was arranged for saxophone and piano by Marcel Mule and published in this format in 1939. Missing from the saxophone version are movements 4 and 10 of the original ten-movement piano version. Movement 4 was "A Giddy Girl" (title in English). Movement 10 was "Le Cortege de Balkis."
