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!

Scoring: Wind sextet (flute, oboe/cor anglais, clarinet, bass clarinet, horn and bassoon)

Date: 2022

Manuel De Falla’s two suites of dances from the ballet “The Three-Cornered Hat” ("El sombrero de tres picos") contain the most quintessentially Spanish of all orchestral dances ever written, demanding a large orchestra (and singer.) I have here arranged a short “mini-suite” of four movements for wind sextet. All the major characters of the ballet are represented in the movements chosen, including the pompous, disreputable, and rather tipsy town mayor (played by the bassoon briefly in the third movement), the neighbours (who ultimately see justice done, tossing the mayor up and down on a blanket), and of course the dashing miller and his electrifying wife!

1. Neighbours' Dance (Seguidillas)

2. Miller’s Dance (Farruca)

3. Afternoon (La Tarde)

4. Dance of the Miller’s Wife (Fandango)
