A MASS FOR PEACE
In the Third Millennium
… 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 its unique focus on the liturgy, composer Dr. John W. Vitz has created a moving spiritual experience that is exhilarating, exalted, and prayerful.
Live performances, on September 12, 2004 at St. Joseph the Worker Church, in Berkeley CA, and October 23, 2005 at the Paramount Theater, Oakland CA, were received with triumphant ovations, and the work has received worldwide attention.
