HOLY, HOLY.

When the congregation reaches the Eucharistic Prayer, the choir leads them into one of the most ancient songs of the Church. Ifeanyichukwu Eze’s setting of the Sanctus captures the majesty of this moment. The piece opens with a steady, reverent repetition of the word "Holy," building a sense of awe before declaring the Lord's power and might.

As the song moves into the "Hosanna," the arrangement introduces a beautiful call-and-response dynamic between the voice parts. The lower voices announce the Hosanna, and the upper voices soar in reply with "in the highest." It brings a bright, joyful energy to the choir loft just before the solemnity of the consecration. This is a wonderful, accessible setting for Catholic choirs looking to add a sense of grandeur to the Mass.
