Jacques Ibert. Quatre chansons de Don Quichotte

Summary/Abstract: Among the representative names of European composers of the first half of the 20th century, there is the French composer Jacques François Antoine Marie Ibert (1890 – 1962). On the list of his countless creations, covering almost all musical genres, are found the four “Songs of Don Quixote” (Chansons de Don Quichotte): Song of departure (Chanson du départ), Song for Dulcinea (Chanson à Dulcinée), Song of the Duke (Chanson du Duc) and Song of the death of Don Quixote (Chanson de la mort de Don Quichotte). In the present paper the author aims to discuss the essential characteristics of the French composer's creation and to broadly present analytically the four novel works mentioned above, which are intended for the big screen.
