This three part vernacular language mass setting is not written in the traditional style of sacred music that forms the repertory of church choirs, but in the style of modern sacred songs.
Two of the movements have a chorus for the entire congregation, as it is at least liturgically required for the Sanctus. The disposition of the Gloria chorus as a canon in the lower fourth might be too complicated for some parishes. In that case the second voice can alternatively be played by an instrument or could be sung by individual singers from the choir.
