A MASS FOR PEACE

In the Third Millennium

This is an inspired musical work that will touch your heart and lead you closer to Christ through the sacred liturgy of the Tridentine Latin Mass. With his unique, heartfelt focus on the liturgy, composer Dr. John W. Vitz has created a moving spiritual experience that is exhilarating, exalted, and prayerful.

The CD includes a FREE booklet containing the Latin words and English translations for all of the music, personal notes about the “miracles” along the way as he created this work! Also, you will read the intriguing story about the CD cover art and its creator, Frederich Hart.

John Kendall Bailey conducts the orchestra and chorus in a performance to remember!

Live performances, on September 12, 2004, at St. Joseph the Worker Church, in Berkeley CA, and on October 23, 2005, at the Paramount Theater, Oakland CA, were received with triumphant ovations, and the work has received worldwide attention.

Both concerts were performed by the Oakland East Bay Symphony and a 90 voice Chorus, conducted by Maestro Michael Morgan.

Here is a review of that concert.
