David covers important musical ground with this project. In addition to the usual ritual moments set to music (the Kyrie, Gloria, gospel and eucharistic acclamations, Lord's Prayer, and Lamb of God), this project includes:

• Music for the dismissal of children and for children's Liturgy of the Word  
• Music for dismissal of catechumens and candidates (RCIA) at the conclusion of the Liturgy of the Word  
• A setting of the profession of faith  
• Intercessions utilizing the popular Zimbabwean/Iona melody "If You Believe and I Believe"  
• Instrumental music for the Preparation of the Gifts leading into the sung blessing over the prepared gifts  
• A new sung setting of one of the new eucharistic prayers from Masses for Various Needs and Occasions  
• A hymn of thanksgiving rather than a typical "closing song" (as called for in the Sacramentary)  
• A sung acclamation for sending communion ministers forth to take the Eucharist to the sick and homebound  
• A sung final blessing
