Jacques Ibert's Le vent dans les ruines (The Wind in the Ruins), written in 1915, demonstrates the early 20th-century composer's fascination with the character piece, undoubtedly influenced by Chabrier, Satie, and Debussy. This three-minute work, inspired by the effects of World War I and specifically the image of a bombed French cathedral, explores various Impressionist and late Romantic compositional techniques.
