A British Tar arr. by Philip Le Bas
"A British Tar" is one of the most popular songs from Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta "HMS Pinafore", and it deserves to be sung more widely. Here it is arranged by Philip Le Bas for unaccompanied barbershop quartet from the original trio plus orchestra/piano. In the operetta the song is supposedly composed by Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, "to encourage independence of thought and action in the lower branches of the service [the Navy], and to teach the principle that a British sailor is any man's equal." It should be sung with as much mock pomp as can be mustered, and the arranger suggests that in bars 10 to 16 and again bars 42 to 48 the first bass singer(s) should (esp...

Soave sia il vento (arr. R Bell and P Le Bas)
Просмотров 28Месяц назад
This lovely aria from Mozart's opera "Cosi fan tutte" is a blessing for a sea crossing that the weather will be kind, the waves calm and all good things will happen to them. There are massive undercurrents in the opera, however, hidden beneath this song, and although beautiful, it should be sung slightly po-faced! The original is for three soloists and orchestra, but here Roy Bell has arranged ...

March of the Men of Harlech (arranged by JH Brewer, adapted by P Le Bas)
Просмотров 1713 месяца назад
"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 intro...

Early one morning, for TTBB barbershop quartet (Philip Le Bas)
Просмотров 1406 месяцев назад
Video score of "Early One Morning", the well-known and much-loved folksong, in a simple arrangement by Philip Le Bas for TTBB barbershop. Although its subject is sad and full of melancholy, it should not be sung too slowly, but with simplicity and compassion. www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/se/ID_No/914510/Product.aspx plbmusic.blogspot.com @philiplebas

Without the text it is not so hot. And the meter is poor
Tremendous Help, THX!!
Just purchased this score. Thanks for adding the helpful videos. I aim to take a very first stab at directing a choir from scratch and this seems like a good, challenging and enjoyable level for beginners.
Lovely ❤
Bravoooo!
Holy Night is ｍy most favorite Christmas song, This Holy Night is full of ｍy deep emotion
The beautiful third verse is new to me: "You are my witnesses says the Lord..." I have not ever seen it in the Latin versions.
Thanks for your interest. The words come from the Church of England "Advent Prose", found here: www.churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/worship-texts-and-resources/common-worship/churchs-year/times-and-seasons/advent#mmm23
nice work thank you
Thank you for your lovely performance and the English translation. With your artistry, You must be with a fine orchestra.
Thank you. Actually the orchestra was generated using software (Sibelius and NotePerformer), but the bassoon playing was mine!
Amazing
Great arrangement.
I enjoyed that. To have a versified version with refrain makes for a refreshing contrast to the usual version. Is there a Nunc to go with it?
Thank you for listening to it and for your comment. I have written a Nunc Dimittis (ruclips.net/video/arvVfe2fQ94/видео.html), though it is a rather different format. I hope you enjoy it...
hi :) you know where i can find the sheet music? ty
Sorry to take so long to reply! It's available from all sorts of publishers, or you can download transcriptions of it for free from CPDL: www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/How_beautiful_upon_the_mountains_(John_Stainer)
What program do you use?
Sibelius
I sang this about a year ago in a programme of Passion music in a choir of 20 voices - it was for me the highlight of the concert. The inner parts are very melodic (always a good sign?) and a suitable setting for these great words. There's a magic/spiritual blend of melancholy and hope in the music - I had the tenor part as an ear worm for months. (The tenor entry in bar 8 shivers down the spine, and again resolution in the last 3 bars. Just want to go back and sing it all again) I keep coming back to hear this version but I keep hoping that it will appear in RUclips with a real choir. In my opinion it deserves to become well-known.
Thanks for very positive feedback, and I'm glad you like it. Philip
Hi Philip I really like this piece especially the whole tone scales! Kate Ryder sent me the score and will dutifully practice it at home and with the pianist at our chamber Music class on Mondays at Morley. I have a counterpoint class at Citylit from 1.30-15.30 on Mondays so realistically I could only get back for about 4pm but I'm sure we can find the time to pop in for the last 30 minutes of the session. When we are up to speed we'll let you know. I'm always early for the chamber music group which starts at 5pm so need be I could have a quick chat before you leave on Monday. Colin Way
Hi Colin, Glad to hear you like it! Thanks for taking the time to practise the piece. I look forward to hearing you perform it. Philip
Thanks for posting this! I used it for my NAfME 2018 All-National Choir Audition and I was chosen! We travel to Orlando in November for the Festival!
Congratulations! Hope you enjoy the festival.
Yo, I really liked this piece, so I made some part-dominant rehearsal tracks of it and threw them on a playlist, I can't link it because of YT comment rules, but it's the only thing on my channel. And yes, it took a while to transcribe and sync the whole piece. Great song!
Glad you like it. Thanks for all your hard work in making the rehearsal tracks.
May I ask what software you use for your arrangements? Always astonished by your work. Thank you!
Sorry to take so long to reply. I use Sibelius - very easy to make these video scores. Glad you like them!
Thank you so much! I have to learn this for my All-National Choir audition
Good luck with your NAfME All-National Honor Ensembles audition!
Philip Le Bas thank you! I hope I did a good job
Who else is here for All Nationals 2018!?
