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.
