Voix grave-Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before embarking upon a successful composing career. The film Don Quichotte increased his popularity when he composed the musical score in 1933. Controversially the producers of Don Quichotte asked five composers separately to compose songs for the film. Each composer thought only he had been approached and when Ibert's music was eventually chosen for the film it caused him some embarrassment as Maurice Ravel who had also been approached was a close friend of his. Song of Departure comes toward the beginning of the film sung by thethe main character Don Quichotte. Addressing a variety of musical aspects and techniques Ibert's Song of Departure is a challenging yet evocative addition to the Bass repertoire.
