"From its inception, Seraphic Fire has premiered new works. Veni by Australian-Canadian composer Julian Revie is the latest and one of the finest of these commissions... Revie manages to pack a plethora of imaginative choral and instrumental writing into the work’s 12-minute span. He is clearly a rising and significant choral composer." - South Florida Classical Review
Revie sets up a shimmering, expectant sound that reflects in a very immediate way the hopes of the would-be redeemed crowding up against each other in barely restrained joy. - Palm Beach Arts Paper
"El estreno mundial Veni de Julian Revie proveyó el contemporáneo hálito místico.

“I believe that the concert was a graced moment for everyone who attended. The music was magnificent, and the people who attended were clearly moved on many levels by their participation in the event.” – Bishop Frank J. Caggiano, Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut
"The concert was an amazing experience, both musically and spiritually. Parts of the mass were engaging because of their intensity and power; others were sweetly comforting because of their gentleness and simplicity. Prayer is often described as the "lifting of the heart and soul to God." In that respect, Revie's composition of Mass of the Divine Shepherd was a prayer for me." – Bishop David M. O’Connell, Diocese of Trenton, New Jersey
