HOLY HOLY HOLY Mass of St. jude

This vibrant setting of the Sanctus comes from Jude Nnam's "Mass of St. Jude." It is a beloved staple in Nigerian Catholic parishes, bringing an energetic and joyful spirit to the Eucharistic Prayer just before the Consecration.

The piece opens with straightforward verses that gather the voices together, building anticipation before breaking into a highly rhythmic and layered chorus. In the choir loft, the sopranos carry a bright, repeating "Hosanna" line, while the lower voices weave the rest of the acclamation underneath. This overlapping, polyphonic style gives the song a driving momentum, making it a favorite for Sunday Masses and feast days as the congregation joins the angels in praise.
