Sanctus (Edisana)

"Sanctus (Edisana)" is a vibrant Efik setting of the Holy, Holy, Holy, composed by Mfon Eyo. It carries the majestic and joyful reverence required for the Eucharistic prayer, translating the universal Sanctus text into the rich linguistic cadence of the Efik people.

Choirs use this piece during the Liturgy of the Eucharist to lead the congregation in the great acclamation. The repeated cries of "Edisana" build a sense of awe, while the lively "Hossana kata enyon" brings a rhythmic, celebratory energy to the Mass. It is a wonderful choice for Nigerian Catholic choirs looking to sing the solemn parts of the liturgy in an indigenous language.
