Nso Nso Nso by Fr. Bart C. Ezeokafor — Lyrics
About Nso Nso Nso
"Nso Nso Nso" is a vibrant and rhythmic Igbo setting of the Sanctus, composed by Fr. Bart. C. Ezeokafor. Sung during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, this piece calls the congregation to join the heavenly chorus in proclaiming the holiness of God. The repetition of "I di Nso Chimo!" (You are Holy, my God!) gives the song a deeply personal and reverent feel, characteristic of Nigerian Catholic worship.
The arrangement features a lively call-and-response structure, with the cantors leading the "Oseburuwa Chineke" (Lord God of hosts) and the Benedictus ("O di Ngozi..."), while the choir drives the energetic "Hozan'ozana" refrain. Its joyful, syncopated solfa melody makes it a favorite for festive Masses, lifting the spirits of the faithful as they prepare for the Consecration.
