Background

Philip Legge is an amateur musician based in Melbourne. Although always interested in music from an early age, he took up singing as an adult with the Tasmania University Musical Society thanks to the lure of performing in Beethoven's Choral Symphony. 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 from time to time 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 modern composers such as György Ligeti, and as a musicologist he is particularly interested in notations pre-dating the modern era. He is especially knowledgeable in the music of Hector Berlioz and the English symphonist Havergal Brian, and has edited 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 performing editions of Mozart's Great Mass in C supplemented by suitable movements from two other Mozart masses; and Monteverdi's Mass and Vespers of 1610.
