Philip Le Bas Music: Arise, shine, for your light has come

Choral, Instrumental and Chamber Music Compositions and Arrangements

Welcome to this portfolio of musical compositions and arrangements, and thank you for your interest!

In the right-hand column beneath here you should see an alphabetical list of works. You can also choose a list of works with a particular label. Alternatively, you can search for a keyword. (Transcriptions and unpublishable works are listed in a page linked at the bottom, if you are interested.) The files here are all freely available. They do carry copyright, but feel free to adapt and/or perform them as you wish, as long as you print/acknowledge the originator (me!) It is always nice to hear from you if you use any of these compositions and arrangements (my email: philiplebas@gmail.com), but this is not a requirement. My main hope, as for many composers, is simply that the works are performed and appreciated. Happy music-making!

Philip

Words:

Arise…

1.
Shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has appeared.
For darkness shall cover the earth,
and deep, thick darkness the peoples.

2.
The Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will be seen around you.
For nations shall come to your light,
and kings to your dawning brightness.

3.
Lift up your eyes and look around;
they all gather together, they come;
your sons are brought from afar,
your daughters nursed at your side.

4.
You shall see and be radiant,
your heart shall thrill and rejoice,
for the sea's abundance shall be brought to you,
and the wealth of the nations.

5.
Riches from Midian and Ephah,
and the camels of Sheba shall come;
they shall bring you gold and frankincense,
and proclaim the praise of the Lord.
