Published by Philip Le Bas (A0.1128059). An arrangement by Philip Le Bas of Gustav Holst's hymn setting of I vow to thee, my country (Thaxted, with words by Sir Cecil Spring Rice.) It is scored for SATB choir and organ, with congregational participation split between men and women. This enables a more joined up and uplifting rendition of Holst's famous tune from Jupiter in his Planets Suite than the standard setting in most hymn books. The hymn's popularity is very evident for example by being sung both at Princess Diana's wedding and, poignantly, at her funeral.

A Cappella,Folk,Historic,Patriotic,Traditional. 7 pages. Philip Le Bas #1005052. Published by Philip Le Bas (A0.1423826). March of the Men of Harlech is the Welsh National Hymn. Here it is arranged by John Hyatt Brewer (1856-1931) and adapted by Philip Le Bas for a cappella TTBB choir (plus solo.) It is admittedly a thoroughly violent, anti-Saxon (yes, that ancient!) marching song, but it deserves to be sung as the melody is so well-loved and it is so full of drama and excitement. Extra sound effects are introduced by the solo part imitating trumpets and drums, and by all the singers with loud (on the spot?) bootsteps! Brewer's harmonization also keeps the interest up through both verses. Pace Welshmen, perhaps this could be hammed up a little?

An anthem composed by Philip le Bas especially suitable for church choirs during Lent (or Advent) and Holy Week. It might also be particularly suitable for Remembrance services.The Jacobean poet Phineas Fletcher’s passionate prayer of repentance is here set to music for SATB choir and organ. In a series of pulsating descending scales the author’s words express heartfelt remorse for his sins, reflecting the story of Jesus and the weeping woman in Luke 7:36ff. This is real, deep sorrow and regret, looking to the Prince of Peace for forgiveness: at one poignant moment the music reaches a point of stillness as the slow tears continue to fall. The weeping then turns to anger, crying for vengeance, because sin doth never cease. The music rises to an intense climax, but suddenly vanishes; the anger is, after all, self-directed. Finally the text returns to a prayer of supplication to drown all my faults and fears, and the harmonies end with a hope-filled hint of future healing. Drop, drop, slow tears, and bathe those beauteous feet, which brought from heaven the news and Prince of Peace. Cease not, wet eyes, his mercies to entreat; to cry for vengeance, sin doth never cease. In your deep floods, drown all my faults and fears; nor let his eye see sin, but through my tears.  Phineas Fletcher (1623)The composer acknowledges with gratitude the ideas and help received from the Composition Workshop of Morley College during the Spring term of 2021, and particularly from its tutor Dr Paul Sarcich.
