HOLY HOLY HOLY

When the Eucharistic Prayer begins, we need a Sanctus that lifts the entire congregation into the presence of God. Ezenwata Stanley’s "Holy Holy Holy" does exactly that, offering a majestic and layered setting of this great acclamation. The piece opens with a bold, unified declaration from the choir before unfolding into a bright, rhythmic exchange of "Hosannas."

As choir members, we know how important it is to keep the energy alive during the Hosanna sections. Stanley’s arrangement gives each voice part a chance to shine, building a joyful momentum that carries right through to the Benedictus. The soprano line soars beautifully, while the underlying harmonies keep the rhythm grounded and celebratory.

This is a wonderful choice for Sunday Mass, especially on feast days when you want a Sanctus that feels both reverent and deeply joyful. It invites everyone in the pews to join the angels and saints in their unending hymn of praise.
