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:
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel, 
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel?
So why not-a every man?

He delivered Daniel from the lion’s den,
Jonah from the belly of the whale,
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace.
So why not-a every man?

Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel,
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel?
So why not-a every man?

The wind blows east and the wind blows west,
It blows like the judgment day.
And every man that never did pray
Is glad to pray that day.

Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel, 
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel?
So why not-a every man?
