Update 12/11/21: Sheet music for this song is now available at gregscheer.com.

Wendell Kimbrough promo
My friend Wendell Kimbrough asked me to do a promotional video for his Kickstarter campaign. I had a little too much fun with it, as you can see from this YouTube video. I’m pleased to report that his fundraising campaign was successful. (Due, I’m quite certain, to my endorsement…) Now that he has nothing to lose […]
Update 12/11/21: Sheet music for this song is now available at gregscheer.com. I’ve featured the music of Wendell Kimbrough before, and today he makes a return appearance. An honor to be sure… Earlier this year his setting of Psalm 104, “Oh, Rejoice in All Your Works,” won the COS New Psalm Contest. It had its church premiere […]
Wendell Kimbrough has appeared in this blog before. Indeed, this song has appeared previously. But for this Palm Sunday I wrote a choral part for his setting of Psalm 31 that I thought deserved a new entry. As you’ll hear on the recording the flute introduces the melody and plays a tag after each verse. […]
I don’t usually post other people’s music, but I’ll make an exception here. Actually, I had a small hand in this, as it’s a collaboration of Wendell Kimbrough (http://wendellk.com/), Ludwig van Beethoven (no website), and me (www.gregscheer.com). Wendell used the “Ode to Joy” melody from the 9th symphony and wrote words based on the post-communion […]
Update: Sheet music for this song is now available at gregscheer.com. When Cardiphonia released its new Songs for the Incarnation, I eagerly listened through the 23 song collection multiple times. (If you haven’t heard it yet, do yourself a favor and make it the soundtrack to your Christmas festivities.) One of the stand out tracks is Wendell […]
Update 3/16/22: Sheet music for this song is now available at gregscheer.com. Wendell Kimbrough is one of my favorite new congregational songwriters. I figured I’d hitch my wagon to this rising star early on his career so that when he becomes a household name, I’d be a household footnote. One of his latest songs is […]

It Is Good
I have had the good fortune of working with Wendell Kimbrough numerous times in the past decade. Our most recent collaboration dropped today. “It Is Good” is an artful musical portrayal of creation, with vocals shared by Wendell and Fernando Ortega. I wrote the string arrangement, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it […]
Carlos Colón has been a big supporter of my music over the years, as well as a good friend. For a recent concert, he commissioned an arrangement of Wendell Kimbrough’s “Mary’s Song” for 2-part children’s choir, piano, string quintet, and oboe. It turned out beautifully, as you can hear from this recording.
A few years ago, I was asked to arrange Wendell Kimbrough’s song, “O Rejoice in All Your Works,” for wind ensemble for use at Calvin University’s commencement. It was used again this year, and the sound and videography are top-notch. What’s that? You have a wind ensemble and would like to include the song in […]
