Nso!!!

"Nso!!!" is a majestic Igbo setting of the Sanctus, the great hymn of praise sung at the heart of the Eucharistic Prayer. Arranged by Attamah Prince, the piece draws the choir and congregation into the heavenly liturgy, echoing the unceasing worship of the angels and saints.

The lyrics expand on the traditional "Holy, Holy, Holy" text by weaving in vivid biblical imagery from the Book of Revelation. The choir sings of the twenty-four elders taking off their crowns ("Onye ndi okenye iri abuo n'ano n'ekpupu r'okpu") and all creation bowing down to the ground in reverence. This powerful imagery elevates the moment of the Mass, reminding the faithful that their voices are joining a vast, unseen chorus.

With its steady, reverent tempo and rich harmonies, this arrangement brings a deep sense of awe to the sanctuary. It is a profound choice for Sunday Mass and solemn feast days, guiding the congregation into a posture of true adoration as they prepare for the Consecration.
