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!

God be in my head (Walford Davies)

Scoring: SABar Choir and organ

Date: 2022

An arrangement of a very simple and well-loved anthem by H Walford Davies (1869-1941) for three-part choir and organ. The original was written for SATB choir. As the original is very short, the whole anthem is repeated, but shifted up a minor third, from the original key of A major to C major. This gives a much brighter and more passionate rendition the second time, and encourages a more fulsome climax on "God be in my heart and in my thinking" before returning to a pianissimo "God be at mine end, and at my departing."
