Mimọ L'olodumare

When the Eucharistic Prayer begins, the choir lifts the congregation into the presence of God with the Sanctus. "Mimọ L'olodumare" is a beloved Yoruba setting of this great acclamation, translating the universal "Holy, Holy, Holy" into a deeply reverent indigenous melody. The solo call immediately sets a tone of awe, declaring the holiness of the Almighty, before the full choir responds in rich harmony.

The verses carry the familiar liturgical text—praising God whose glory fills heaven and earth ("Ọrun oun aye yin O l'ogo"), blessing the one who comes in the Lord's name, and raising the joyful cry of "Hosannah" in the highest. It is a piece that feels both majestic and grounded, perfect for drawing the faithful into the sacred mystery of the Mass.
