About HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
This score features two essential movements of a Catholic Mass setting composed by Rev. Fr. Okwy Tony Umeh: the "Holy, Holy, Holy" (Sanctus) and the "Lamb of God" (Agnus Dei). Written entirely in solfa notation, these pieces are designed for a four-part choir to lead the congregation during the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
The Sanctus opens with a majestic, quasi-allegro declaration of God's holiness. It builds up to a vibrant and rhythmic "Hosanna in the highest" that repeats joyfully across the voice parts, creating an uplifting atmosphere of praise right before the Eucharistic prayer.
Following the consecration, the Agnus Dei takes on a more pleading, reverent tone. The choir sings the traditional petitions asking for mercy, before concluding with a gentle, layered prayer for peace. Together, these movements bring a sense of solemnity and vibrant worship to the Mass.
