Background
Philip Legge is an amateur musician based in Melbourne. He sings mainly as a tenor or counter-tenor, and has performed a wide variety of repertoire with a number of choirs around Australia. He has also on occasion conducted choirs, composed some choral music, and on several occasions unwillingly played as a repetiteur, despite not being a pianist!
Philip's interests range across seven centuries of Western art music, from the notational complexities of Guillaume Dufay, to living composers such as György Ligeti, and as a musicologist is particularly interested in notations pre-dating the modern era. He is particularly involved in the music of Hector Berlioz and the English symphonist Havergal Brian, and is editing the latter's Symphony No. 7 in C (1948) for publication by United Music Publishing Ltd. Philip intends to eventually have public domain editions of Berlioz's Te Deum and Requiem available for download as full scores, vocal scores, and instrumental parts.
Other ongoing projects include a complete performing edition of Mozart's Great Mass in C, supplemented by suitable movements from two other Mozart masses, an urtext edition of the Requiem; a performing edition of the 1888/1893 version of Fauré's Requiem; a complete edition of Monteverdi's Mass and Vespers of 1610, and a complete scholarly edition of Brumel's 12 voice Missa Et ecce terræ motus.
