Born to Die, Born to Rise
http://musicblog.gregscheer.com/born_to_die_born_to_rise.mp3
Christmas can become saccharine when it’s populated only with sweet baby Jesuses, choruses of angels, and mild Marys. Just as the Magis’ myrrh foreshadowed Jesus’ burial, “Ah, Holy Jesus” reminds us of the full meaning of the incarnation. This piece weaves “Lo, How a Rose” and “Ah, Holy Jesus” together in musical counterpoint that thickens both their differences and underlying unity. After focusing on these two sides of Christ, our only response can be praise; the piece ends with a rousing rendition of “All My Heart Again Rejoices.”
Full orchestration for choirs, piano, organ, and brass. Price allows you to make as many copies as you need for your ensemble.

Come, Holy Ghost (Be Not Afraid)
https://musicblog.gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/come_holy_ghost_composite.mp3
“Come, Holy Ghost/Be Not Afraid,” by Ray Mills and Bruce Benedict is a modern classic. I’ve written several arrangements of the song, but when two pianist friends told me they were looking for arrangements of congregational songs for four-handed piano, I decided to write something entirely new for them, built from the ground up for two pianists at the same keyboard. It is certainly a challenging arrangement, but I think it’s challenging in a good way.
Download includes full score and parts for piano, four hands.
