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!

Elizabethan Serenade

(available by private arrangement only)
Scoring: Wind decet and string quartet
Ronald Binge's 1951 piece was orchestrated by George Pollen and is here re-arranged for small mixed ensemble




The Windmills of Your Mind
(available by private arrangement only)
Scoring: TTBB choir with string quartet
Michel Legrand's music with the lyrics of Marilyn and Alan Bergman has been arranged for TTBB (barbershop) choir. However, it requires iron lungs, as there are almost no rests! It is perhaps significant that no recordings are available. I have therefore substantially re-arranged it for TTBB choir accompanied by a string quartet (2 violins, viola and double bass).



The Bee Carol 
(available by private arrangement only)
Scoring: SATB a cappella
Date: 2018

An arrangement of Carol Ann Duffy's (copyrighted) poem.
