What's New?

07/24/10: My Taizé-ish "Come, All You Weary" is included in the recently released Assembly Required. Augsburg Fortress has come up with a winning idea and title on this, and I'm glad to be a part of the collection. For those of you who like your weariness in a little more funky vein (with cowbell!), check out "If You're Weary."

07/15/10: Working on the new site design in the airplane on the way back from the Hymn Society conference in Birmingham, AL. Should be ready to go live soon!

06/04/10: The Chinese Baptist Press of Hong Kong has signed contracts for a Chines translation of The Art of Worship. Even cooler, my composition student, Yvette Lau, will be doing the translating. I'll let you know when it comes out.

05/31/10: Almost 20 years ago, my friends Harry and Pam Plantinga bid on "a scripture of your choosing set to music by Greg" at a Bellefield Presbyterian youth group auction. Last week, the choral anthem based on Isaiah 35:5-10 that I composed for them,"They Will Enter Zion with Singing," was released by Adoro Music Publishing.

05/19/10: Global Songs for Worship is now out! Two years in the making, it features 57 songs from all over the world, many of which have never been published previously. At $3.95 for orders of 10 or more, they are priced to sell. A 28 song companion CD was released previously.

05/12/10: Where will Greg be this summer?

June 1-3 I'll take part in the Psalm Colloquium sponsored by the CICW.

June 15-17 I'll be doing some worship leading at the Reformed Mission in an Age of World Christianity conference, which is followed immediately by the

June 18-28 Uniting General Council/World Communion of Reformed Churches, which is followed immediately by the

June 29-July 1 CICW Grants Colloquium. (June 30 of this event is open to the public, so you can come and hear me lead a workshop on singing global worship songs.)

July 11-15 I'll be in Birmingham, AL at the Hymn Society conference where I'll give a presentation about my work editing Global Songs for Worship. Things cool down a bit until

August 29 when I'll do a few workshops at the Focus on Leadership conference in Waupan, WI.

As always, if you're at one of these events I'd love to meet you!

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.
