Philip Le Bas Music: Repton Variations

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, clarinet in B flat, bass clarinet in B flat, french horn in F and bassoon)
Date: 2019
An original composition of mine: "Repton" is the name of the tune by Sir Hubert Parry for the well-known and much loved hymn "Dear Lord and Father of mankind". There are ten variations on the original theme, each widely different in character, and each given a subtitle from lines of the original hymn. The finale is a rollicking fugue! See below for the titles and times of each variation.
