HOLY! HOLY!! HOLY!!!

When the Eucharistic Prayer begins, the choir and congregation join their voices in the great unending hymn of praise. Goddy Khama’s setting of the "Holy, Holy, Holy" captures that moment of profound reverence and joyful acclamation. Written entirely in solfa notation, this piece gives Nigerian choirs a bright, rhythmic way to sing the Sanctus.

The arrangement opens with a steady, majestic declaration of God's holiness before moving into a lively, uplifting "Hosanna in the highest." The contrast between the solemn opening and the energetic Hosanna sections keeps the congregation engaged, drawing them into the heart of the Mass. The harmonies are straightforward but effective, allowing the different voice parts to support the melody without overwhelming the sacred text.

Choirmasters will appreciate how naturally the phrasing flows, especially in the transition to "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." It is a setting that feels both dignified enough for a solemn Sunday Mass and vibrant enough to lift the spirits of everyone in the pews as they prepare for the Consecration.
