Combine familiar themes with new additions
Working closely with pastoral musicians to create a singable and approachable piece of music, Steve and Tom have combined familiar themes with new elements that faithfully present the new Roman Missal. They have also added a setting for the Penitential Act, a Lenten Gospel Acclamation, as well as a simple approach for all Gospel acclamation verses!

Steve and Tom give us the inside story to Mass of a Joyful Heart. How does this setting engage parishioners at Mass?
We wanted to this setting to be approachable for the average parish musician and singable for the assembly, so that the "leader" becomes less significant and the prayer of the congregation becomes the driving force.

What was your inspiration for Mass of a Joyful Heart?
When Tom and I began writing, we chose the name "Joyful Heart" because we didn't so much want it to feel like music for "youth" as music that captures the spirit of the young Church. One of the most important qualities that youthfulness brings to the church is JOY! So we wrote with that spirit in mind (and heart).
