Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 40, I Will Wait upon the Lord

Posted on January 26, 2012 by gregscheer

Another oldy, but goody. This is one of my earliest congregational songs and was immortalized (well, recorded) on my CD The Greg Scheer Song Book, which, by the way is still available for the unbelievable price of $10. On that … Continue reading →

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 36, Deeper than the Sea

Posted on January 25, 2012 by gregscheer

Once again, this song is not new to my blog, but this is a new recording. And as a Psalms for All Seasons reject, it fits squarely in this series of Killer B posts: MP3.

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 30, Sing to God

Posted on January 24, 2012 by gregscheer

I’ve blogged about “Sing to God” previously (and shortly after that), but I thought I’d let you hear it again. I still like this tune quite a lot. Evidently the editors of PfAS didn’t. (To be honest, I can’t remember if I … Continue reading →

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 23, The King of Love

Posted on January 23, 2012 by gregscheer

Hands down, one of my favorite hymns is “The King of Love My Shepherd Is.” I wrote an SSA arrangement of this which found a home in the Augsburg Choirbook for Women. More recently I re-arranged it for SATB choir. … Continue reading →

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 13, How Long Will You Forget

Posted on January 22, 2012 by gregscheer

This choral/congregation setting of Psalm 13 began its life as Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed (which, by the way, I think you should sing in your church this upcoming Lent). When TCS and I were doing the initial reading … Continue reading →

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty/Praise the Lord, O My Soul

Posted on January 9, 2012 by gregscheer

I found an MP3 on my computer the other day, and to tell you the truth I don’t know what it’s from. It’s my arrangement of “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty” that includes the added refrain “Praise the Lord, … Continue reading →

Christ Has Died

Posted on January 8, 2012 by gregscheer

Churches of a liturgical bent usually include the “memorial acclamation” as part of their communion liturgy. The leader says “Let us proclaim the mystery of faith” and the people respond with “Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come … Continue reading →

The Body of Christ

Posted on January 7, 2012 by gregscheer

As I worked on Cardiphonia’s Songs for the Supper project, I wrote lots of sketches before settling on “O Lamb of God” as the one I’d record “for real.” I recently got a chance to complete and record a few … Continue reading →

Peace in the Valley, the understudy

Posted on December 26, 2011 by gregscheer

Chris Smit was such a hit singing “Peace in the Valley” at Church of the Servant’s Lessons & Carols service a few weeks ago, that a repeat performance was demanded for the Christmas Eve Service. Sadly, he lost his voice … Continue reading →
