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.

Refugee King – strings
Price range: $0.00 through $25.00 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page[audio m4a="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/refugee_king_rosewood.m4a"][/audio]It was my great pleasure to work with Liz Vic, Wen Reagan, Bruce Benedict, and Lester Ruth to write this alternative to “Away in A Manger.” Most Christmas songs are all sweetness, with the baby Jesus sleeping contentedly, “no crying he makes.” This song turns that idyllic picture on its head, revealing the drama and stress of a real family with a real baby who was the target of a jealous politician’s wrath, forcing them to flee “away from the manger” to the safety of Egypt.
You can hear Liz Vice’s original recording below. Above is a recording of the string arrangement from Rosewood Church in December 2024.
