"... John Kaefer's MOSAIC made hay with some nifty unison string writing that served as rhythmic motor to hefty, syncopated brass declamations and thunderous timpani. He framed the central allegro with atmospheric slow music of plush but spicy layered harmonies... [MOSAIC was] strong and entertaining and generally accessible... [Kaefer] used the orchestral resources with dazzling vitality. Who knew that new music could be such fun?" - The Orange County Register about MOSAIC

"... [O You Tender Ones] is an imaginative work energized with episodes of drama by all three performers and ending with a high-fade-out passage by the piano alone following the text of "But the spaces..." - Times Herald-Record of New York about O You Tender Ones for soprano, violin or clarinet, and piano

"...the flow of feeling and text, and the matching of the same to original musical thought and ideas, is elegant and assured... The harmonic language of Psalm 27 is its most individuating element... [His] control of formal structure here was firm... Kaefer is a shooting star across the New Jersey musical firmament." - The New Jersey Star Ledger about Psalm 27 for baritone solo, mixed chorus, and orchestra
