What's New?

4/17/08: Yesterday I met hymn writer Mary Louise Bringle. One of the interesting things about her is that she starts with a tune and then writes a text--very unusual in the hymn world. It made me think about all the "orphan" tunes I have languishing in my compositional filing cabinet. It inspired me to make those tunes available to text writers who are waiting to give them a loving home. Let me introduce to you SASQUATCH ( 8.7.8.7.D), RUSTY (8.6.8.6), TWISTER (8.7.8.7.D), and MAESTRO (8.6.8.6).

4/14/08: Last week when I was at the Transforming Culture symposium in Austin, I did a short interview with Kevin Gibson. You can hear it at his very excellent http://worshipodcast.com/. (You'll need to scroll down a bit to get to Episode 5, but take your time--all the episodes are interesting.)

4/13/08: I'm thinking about creating a book of piano arrangements for accompanying congregational singing--something like my three hymn arrangements at the CICW website or like this new one of O Splendor of God's Glory Bright. What do you think? Would you buy a book of 15-20 piano arrangements like this?

3/15/08: Has it really been two months since my last update? Yes, I guess it has. I'm still alive and well, but haven't had time to update my web pages as much as I'd like lately. I'm knee deep in Easter season preparations at COS, working on the upcoming Transforming Culture symposium in Austin, and finishing editorial work on the forthcoming global songbook for the CICW. But don't worry. I'll be back in full force before you know it.

1/26/07: Did you sing "One Generation Will Call to the Next" in the chapel service at this year's Calvin Worship Symposium? Did you know that you can download the congregational version or the choral arrangement for free right here at gregscheer.com?

If it's not here, it's just old news...

The Musical Diary of Greg Scheer
Is it a music blog? An audio journal? An encyclopedia of songs gone horribly wrong? You be the judge. If you like what you hear you can subscribe to the RSS feed so you never miss a thing.

Praise Music Catalog
Read it, hear it, download it. All free. Such a deal. And convenient, too: you can browse over 50 songs alphabetically, by scripture, or by "vertical habit."

Choral Music Catalog
Download one of these 30+ choral pieces for your church choir for free, then send me a $15 check if you use it. Is this a steal, or am I doing the math wrong?

Orders
I can't give everything away! Check here for some really great items at a very reasonable prices.
