Opus 37

Choir composition on a text by Jos De Haes from 1951.^[1]
Before the work was given the definite title, it was called A friend. It possibly had still another title before, but it couldn't be deciphered in the autograph.
It seems likely that Vic Nees made an arrangement of Legley's work in order to make it more easily singable^[2], which points to a performance.

↑ K. De Schrijver (Leuven, 1955): Levende componisten uit Vlaanderen. Tweede deel. De jongere generatie van 1900 - ±1920, p.138.
↑ See the catalogue with recordings of Legley's works (Legley archives - Royal Conservatory Brussels), which reads on page 4: een vriend | V.Legley | J.De Haes | enigszins bewerkt Vic Nees [EN: a friend | V.Legley | J.De Haes | slightly arranged by Vic Nees]. The word slightly has been made illegible by tipp-ex.
↑ De Roeck (p.318) writes Wees.
↑ Possibly Vic Nees' handwriting. See history.
