HOLY HOLY HOLY

When the Preface concludes and the priest invites us to join the choirs of angels, this is the song we raise. Valentine Patrick’s setting of the "Holy, Holy, Holy" gives the choir a majestic, grounded melody to carry the congregation into the most solemn part of the Mass. The words themselves are the great unending hymn of heaven, and this arrangement captures that reverence perfectly.

The music moves with a steady, deliberate pace, building up naturally to the joyful "Hosana in the highest." It is a highly accessible choice for Sunday worship, allowing the voices in the loft to lead the people smoothly into the Eucharistic Prayer. Singing this piece helps center the whole church, drawing everyone's focus to the altar as the consecration approaches.
