Edisana Edisana Edisana

"Edisana Edisana Edisana" is a majestic Efik setting of the Sanctus, the great hymn of praise sung by the choir and congregation at the end of the Preface. The title translates directly to the familiar "Holy, Holy, Holy," ushering the faithful into the Eucharistic Prayer with a sense of profound reverence.

The piece opens with a solemn declaration of God's holiness before expanding into the sweeping "Obong Abasi udim ekong" (Lord God of hosts). As the text moves to proclaim that heaven and earth are full of His glory, the melody lifts, preparing the choir for the joyful acclamation of the refrain.

In the choir loft, the transition into "Hossana ke ata ikpa enyong" (Hosanna in the highest) is always a moment of bright, rhythmic energy. The final section, "Emediong enye emi edide k'enyin Obong" (Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord), brings a gentle warmth before returning to the triumphant Hosanna, perfectly capturing the awe and celebration of the Mass.
