Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 133, How Very Good
I added verses to Barbara Boertje’s “How Good It Is,” but I’ve never posted a recording of the full choral arrangement. Until now.

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 124, If the Lord Had Not Been on Our Side
This choral anthem will be coming out on GIA soon. Six years in production, it’s gonna be good… Here’s a recording of a read-through of the choral anthem, sans narration sections.

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 127, Rest in the Lord
I finally met Michael Morgan, the author of this text, at the 2012 Calvin Worship Symposium. He’s a friendly guy and a fine organist as well as the author of a mother load of metrical Psalm settings. Here’s a new … Continue reading

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 114, The Hills and Mountains Tremble
Perhaps I’m too dedicated to setting lesser-known Psalms to music. Maybe I should just stick to Psalm 23. But if you’re going to set Psalm 114 to music, you could do a lot worse than this.

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 103, From the Dust
I’ve blogged about “From the Dust” before, but I’ve had no recording of the choral arrangement until now. This one didn’t make it into Psalms for All Seasons and has been rejected by one publisher to date.* But I still hold … Continue reading

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 107, Thanks Be to God
This setting of Psalm 107 came about when the Psalm came up in the lectionary on a Sunday that the Guitarchestra was playing. I couldn’t find a workable version of the Psalm, so I took David Diephouse’s metrical text which is … Continue reading

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 81, Sing to God
Having just finished the 2012 Calvin Worship Symposium, I’m all ramped up on the Psalms. Then, I’m always all ramped up on the Psalms… Here’s my setting of Psalm 81. This might not be a “zinger,” but I think it’s … Continue reading

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 52, Why Do You Boast?
More Killer B’s, more revenge. And this time, the theme of the Psalm revenge, too. Psalm 52 is pretty biting stuff, as I discussed before. Naturally, I’m partial to my rendition, but I can also see the charms of Doug … Continue reading

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 40, Patiently
“Two settings of Psalm 40,” you ask? “Isn’t that a bit excessive?” Well, perhaps. But the previous one is a festive, praise band version, and this one is a contemplative take on the same Psalm. In a previous post, I … Continue reading

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