I spent the early 90s in Pittsburgh getting my master’s in music composition at Pitt. By day, I studied music theory, musicology, and ethnomusiciology; by night I was a guitar-slinging singer-songwriter and bassist for hire. On Sundays, I attended Bellefield Presbyterian Church–I sang in the choir, played on the praise team, and took part in the college fellowship. Within a few years, my volunteering turned into my first church music position. Those six years leading worship at Bellefield were formative for me. I was blessed with a congregation that was open to new ideas and receptive— even eager— to sing the songs I was writing.
The Greg Scheer Song Book was the culmination of those years–ten songs that had become staples of Bellefield’s worship life. The GSSB began as a spiral-bound collection of leadsheets and piano accompaniments. A few years later, I released a CD of the same songs. And now, 25 years (and three months) later, we’re reissuing the Greg Scheer Songbook in digital form.
