HOLY HOLY

When we reach the heart of the Eucharistic Prayer, the choir leads the congregation in the Sanctus, a moment of profound reverence and joyful praise. Bro Pascal Prince’s setting of the "Holy Holy" captures this dual spirit perfectly. It opens with a gentle, repeated chant of "Holy, holy, holy," building a sense of awe before opening up into a bright and rhythmic acclamation.

What makes this arrangement special is its driving, syncopated approach to the "Hozana." The repeated calls of "hozana, hozana hozana" in the upper voices create a lively, uplifting energy that feels right at home in a vibrant Nigerian parish. It’s a setting that invites the whole church to join the angels and saints in their unending hymn, carrying us joyfully toward the consecration.
