When he sent me a CD of A Mass for Peace in the Third Millennium, I was prepared to be polite and find something nice to say. Imagine my surprise and delight when I listened to his CD and was thrilled by the fine music he had created. He is a mature and highly talented composer and his work will take its place among the best of contemporary composers". Don Robertson [Composer, Songwriter, Nashville Music Hall of Fame] Thousand Oaks, CA ________________________________________________________________________ "It was my pleasure to conduct the World Premier of John Vitz' A Mass for Peace in the Third Millennium recently in Berkeley. It is a large choral work that was immediately successful with the public. The chorus which sang it did so with the greatest enthusiasm. Dr. Vitz' gift for melody and the fact that the work is so obviously heartfelt make it a particularly moving experience for people of faith. I can assure you that any performance of it will meet with tremendous public acclaim". Michael Morgan [Music Director, Oakland East Bay Symphony] Oakland, CA ________________________________________________________________________ "... an opportunity to walk across the threshold of freshness, hope and peace" Sharon Girard, Ph.D. [Musicologist and Professor of Music at San Francisco State University, Retired] ________________________________________________________________________ “I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful musical presentation of A Mass for Peace in the Third Millennium. In this work, composer John W. Vitz has created a masterpiece of music for the Traditional Latin Mass. This inspired work is a musical rendering of the Mass that is stunning in both its composition and orchestration. I highly recommend it.” Alan Napleton, [President, Catholic Marketing Network] Dallas, TX _______________________________________________________________________ "The music is still resounding in my head....I just had to tell you what a magnificent, enthralling, inspiring and intense experience Sunday's concert was for me. I have never participated in a musical presentation like it....ever! I will never forget the last note tapering off into the dome and seeing the entire audience rise in huge applause and celebration!! What a wonderful achievement". Judy D. [member of the chorus]
