Maitsarki Maitsarki Maitsaerki

"Maitsarki Maitsarki Maitsaerki" is a vibrant Hausa setting of the Sanctus, bringing the familiar "Holy, Holy, Holy" into a joyful, rhythmic expression. Composed by Saidua S. Peter, the piece builds a bright and steady momentum as it moves from the reverent opening calls of "Ya Maitsarki" into the lively Hosanna sections. For choirs in Northern Nigeria and Hausa-speaking congregations, this setting offers a deeply culturally resonant way to enter the Eucharistic prayer.

The score carries a beautiful personal touch, bearing a dedication to two couples—Mary and Benjamin Adams, and Rose and Vicent James—for their December 2025 weddings. It is a wonderful example of how liturgical music intertwines with the milestones of parish life, offering a prayer that the harmony sung in the choir loft will echo in the lives of the newly married. Singing this during the Mass, the choir leads the people in the universal acclamation: heaven and earth are truly full of His glory.
