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!

Troika (Prokofiev)

Scoring: Wind sextet (flute/piccolo, oboe, clarinet in B flat, bass clarinet in B flat, horn in F, bassoon) and optional percussion (tambourine, triangle, sleigh bells)
Date: 2020
A thoroughly reduced arrangement of "Troika" from the orchestral suite "Lieutenant Kije" by Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) for wind sextet. The name means "Sleigh Ride" and so this piece is often associated with Christmas. However, the whole suite is actually a satirical story for an early Russian film, and a sleigh ride was simply a method of moving around in the depths of a Russian winter. The piece does however capture all the excitement of galloping horses and the swishing of snow as the sleigh hurtles along. The arrangement here is intended to encourage audience participation, perhaps by adding the jangling of keys to the percussion parts!
