Philip Le Bas Music: Praise the Lord from the heavens

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!

Philip

A joyful, upbeat setting of Psalm 148 to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. Although the time signatures may at first seem daunting, this is quite simple to perform and the piano part is deliberately supportive. I hope singers will find it fun to sing and perhaps a church congregation might be encouraged to join in with the refrains!

Words (from Ps 148):

Refrain:

Praise the Lord from the heavens;

Praise the Lord from the heights!

Praise him all his angels;

Praise him all his host!

Verses:

Praise him, praise him, sun and moon,

praise him all you shining stars,

praise him highest heavens,

praise the name of the Lord.

Great sea monsters, ocean deeps,

fire and hail at his command,

snow and frost and stormy wind,

praise the name of the Lord.

Praise him, hills and mountains,

cattle and wild animals,

creeping things and flying birds,

praise the name of the Lord.

He commanded, they were made,

fixed their bounds as he decreed,

founded them for ever.

Praise the name of the Lord.

Kings of the earth and princes,

rulers of every nation,

women and men together

praise the name of the Lord.
