HOLY HOLY HOLY by Fr. Bart C. Ezeokafor — Lyrics
About HOLY HOLY HOLY
"Holy Holy Holy" by Fr. Bart C. Ezeokafor (FadaBarto) is a majestic choral setting of the Sanctus. Written in a stately 3/4 time with a deliberate "Maestoso" tempo, it calls the choir and congregation into the deep reverence of the Eucharistic Prayer. The piece opens with a steady, eight-fold repetition of "Holy," building a profound sense of awe that mirrors the unending worship of the angels before the altar.
As the priest concludes the Preface, the voices rise together to proclaim that heaven and earth are full of God's glory. The music then shifts into a bright and joyful "Hosanna," lifting the entire spirit of the liturgy. For a choir, singing this arrangement offers a beautiful way to anchor the congregation during the most sacred moments of the Mass. It provides a dignified yet uplifting melody to welcome the Lord's presence, making the transition into the consecration feel truly heavenly.
