Bob Rice, the Commemorative Air Force executive director said composer Greg Witt's Pearl Harbor score is "tremendous."

Album Description
American composer Greg Witt has impressed his listeners with many works through out the years. His composition, "PEARL HARBOR: A MUSICAL TRIBUTE" was performed by the Odessa College Concert Band and Choir on Friday, December 7th, 2001 in the Commemorative Air Force hangar at Midland International Airport. The piece is a four-movement work for concert band and choir performed live to a synchronized video presentation of actual clips from the day of infamy. The concert was designed to drum up that old American patriotic spirit and to reflect on the

"Pearl Harbor" of Dec. 7, 1941. Witt's Pearl Harbor tribute is in four movements:
I. Prologue: "Pearl Harbor, we honor thee ...."
II. Freedom: "Freedom, Cherish your freedom! ... Freedom, A light for our kingdom."
III. We're Flyin' Hawaiian: "You had a good home but you left, You're Right! ..., You'll fight 'em with all of your might, You're Right!" IV. Finale: "Pearl Harbor, We honor thee. America lay quietly asleep. Your mountains crumbled into the sea. O God, you have not forsaken ... Pearl Harbor! America, you're Free!"

The Finale's "big, powerful ending" includes "Taps" -- God is nigh. "It's …beautiful." , says senior editor, Ed Todd of the Midland Reporter Telegram.
