A new arrangement by Philip Le Bas of a thirteenth century French Christmas carol from Provence harmonized by Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-87, attrib.) and, more famously, by Georges Bizet (1838-75, in his L'Arlesienne Suite of 1872.) In France the melody is still tightly associated with Christmas, and French audiences start singing their own Christmas words whenever they hear the melody (the arranger has heard it himself!) The English translation used here is adapted from a variety of sources. The three kings (or more precisely the magi from St Matthew's gospel) are seen marching towards Bethlehem with their fantastic golden wealth and grandeur. But why are they going to see a low-born baby and why do they worship this child who will die on a cross? The organ sets the scene from the beginning with its marching accompaniment, and the first verse is sung in unison by all three parts. The second begins with a canon, as used by Bizet, and then breaks into harmony. The first section of the third verse is much quieter and legato, sung by the sopranos and altos, using wonderful chromatic harmonies based on another section from Bizet's suite. The lyrics express wonder at the beautiful music heard from the camp of the kings. The second section, sung in differentiated unison then begins to wonder why the kings stoop so low to a baby in a manger. Finally the fourth verse, sung in full harmony, returns to the marching accompaniment and reiterates the amazement of meeting these kings with their mysterious mission. The carol is aimed at parish choirs with limited resources, but a good organist. The melody is well-known, much of it is in unison, and other sections are relatively easy to sing. Care should however should be taken to sing the dotted rhythms accurately - this is what gives the carol its marching character.

Here's a light, swinging arrangement of a cute George and Ira Gershwin song that's ideal for any age choir. High school groups can sink their teeth into it, middle school groups can really make music with it, and elementary groups can just have fun with it. The clever lyrics (you say ee-ther and I say eye-ther) are the focus of this piece. Great for jazz/pop groups, too.

An arrangement (revised 2024) by Philip Le Bas of a popular and simple melody by James Leith Macbeth Bain (1860-1925) - Brother James - with words of Psalm 23 (The Lord's my shepherd) for 3-part choir and piano. There are many existing arrangements, but most tend to be rather fancy (e.g. by Gordon Jacob and Alan Bullard), requiring four competent parts, or else it is simply sung as a congregation hymn. Here it is set for SABar choir so that it becomes more accessible to small parish choirs, who may lack tenors and basses. It has five verses, the second and fourth providing an opportunity either for a cappella or for accompanied part singing. The other verses are varied particularly by the piano, although the ending is also in parts.

The Master's Hand is an easy SAB anthem about appreciating the people who have inspired us to be beacons in the dark and a light of hope. I wrote this the week Princess Diana and Mother Theresa both died, when I was asked to write a song to honour both of these women.

This arrangement of Kate Bush's iconic Wuthering Heights is in three parts, with the melody shared between the voices. This means the altos have to sing quite high sometimes, but the whole song has been taken down a tone from the original to accommodate this. The arrangement is voiced for soprano, alto and combined tenor / bass voices, and includes both a fully scored piano part and chord symbols for improvisers.

Intended use: Post prayer, general use
Themes: The Lord’s Prayer
(useful any time of year)

Straightforward and simple, this anthem for SAB voices and piano is designed for the small church choir. It can be learned in one short rehearsal. A setting of the Lord’s Prayer with modern language, this piece is perfect when suitable reflective music is needed after a prayer, especially the Lord’s Prayer. There is a slightly contemporary sound to the music, and there are just enough dynamic markings to make the piece genuinely expressive. The 2nd and 3rd verses are followed by a very memorable section of vocalized “Loo’s�, and finally an “Amen�. Easy, beautiful, and soothing.

Our Father God, Who Is In Heaven is also available for two-part mixed voices and piano (LCP0142).
