Ibert Flute Concerto Sheet Music

This composer’s music, which encompasses all genres, remains largely unknown to most listeners, with a few exceptions: Jacques Ibert’s (1890-1962) evocative and lushly scored Escales (“Ports of Call”) recalls the Impressionism of Debussy; his entertaining and downright loony Divertissement is a wacky suite of incidental music for a play, The Italian Straw Hat. The fact is, however, that there is a great deal of music to be “discovered” in the catalog of this Frenchman.
