Since the introduction of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), no parish can do without a copy of this timely and extensive publication. Music for every step of the journey is provided. This includes many ritual moments that have never before been set to music. A "mini-course" in the RCIA by Thomas H. Morris entitled "Walk as Children of the Light" provides a concise and useful explanation of each step of the rite. An introduction by James B. Dunning and complete explanatory and performance notes by David Haas supply all necessary information to put this music into practical use.

Like the first collection, this volume from David Haas provides hymns, songs, psalms, acclamations, and litanies for the seasons and rites of the RCIA. Contains music for the rite of acceptance, election/sending, the scrutinies, the Easter Vigil, and the period of mystagogia. Unique to Volume II are some models of how music can help amplify the Liturgy of the Word, especially during the period of purification and enlightenment (Lent), with the powerful scrutiny gospels. Also includes acclamations to accompany the catechumens and candidates as they go forth to break open the word, music for catechetical sessions, and music for the great period of mystagogia. Also unique to this collection is a third edition for readers and musicians, containing the three gospel dramatizations of the scrutiny gospels. This edition includes the full text and music for those dramatizations, plus background material and directions (they do not appear in the music collection).

Appealing to all generations of faith, David Haas's new recording, God Is Here, speaks to themes of reconciliation, transformation, and hope. The powerful and evocative lyrics of songs like "God Weeps," "God of Second Chances," and "God Alone Is Enough" challenge us to look within, acknowledge our failings, seek forgiveness, and find healing in the ever-present mercy of God. This recording features moving vocal performances by David along with other well- known GIA artists and composers, including Kate Cuddy, Lori True, Tom Franzak, Marty Haugen, Tony Alonso, Joe Camacho, and Michael Mahler. This proclamation of Christ?s healing good news reminds us that through it all, no matter how many times we fall, God Is Here.
