Chapter 2 includes biographical information about his life in general, his career as a horn player, and his journey to composition. Chapter 3 gives a detailed description of his progression from student to composer. Chapter 4 provides an overview of some of his characteristic compositional tendencies found in a number of his compositions with examples. Chapter 5 focuses on the history and process in composition of the Four Songs for Soprano, Horn, and Piano, including a detailed analysis of each of the songs with comments from the composer. The appendices include a full score of the Four Songs for Soprano, Horn, and Piano, full list of works by David Irving, a written interview with the author, and permissions granted for the use of his correspondence with the author as well as the inclusion of his self-published works
