HOLY HOLY HOLY

Obiefule C. ThankGod's setting of the "Holy, Holy, Holy" is a straightforward, reverent piece for the Catholic Mass. Written entirely in English, it carries the congregation into the heart of the Eucharistic Prayer. The melody moves with a deliberate, moderately slow pace, allowing the choir to clearly enunciate the solemn words of the angels' song without rushing the sacred moment.

When we sing the Sanctus, we are joining the heavenly chorus right before the consecration. This arrangement gives the soprano line a soaring, repetitive "Hosanna in the highest" that builds a genuine sense of joyful praise. Underneath, the harmony parts support the melody with rhythmic echoes, making it an engaging piece to rehearse in the choir loft and sing during the liturgy.

It is especially fitting for Sunday Masses where a dignified, yet accessible English Mass part is needed. The clear solfa notation makes it easy for the choir to pick up the parts, ensuring that the focus remains on the prayerful elevation of the text.
