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!

Pie Jesu (Fauré)

Scoring: SABar choir and organ

Date: 2017 (revised 2021)

The beautiful "Pie Jesu" by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) is scored for solo soprano/treble and orchestra or organ. This arrangement for choir (with just one lower part) and organ aims to make it more accessible to choirs, while keeping its sublime simplicity. Taken from Fauré's Requiem, it could perhaps be used in churches at funerals and memorial services.

Words:

Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem sempiternam.

(English translation from the Latin:
Sweet Lord Jesus,
Grant them everlasting rest.)
