Ina Ina (sanctus)

"Ina Ina" is a vibrant Igala setting of the Sanctus, composed by Ameh Michael. Written to be sung during the Eucharistic Prayer, the piece translates the universal "Holy, Holy, Holy" into a deeply local expression of reverence. The melody carries the awe of the angels' song, grounding the soaring praise of the Mass in the rhythmic and tonal beauty of the Igala language.

Choirs will find the arrangement straightforward yet full of energy, with the voices moving together to proclaim God's glory. The transition into the Benedictus maintains the joyful momentum, leading the congregation naturally into the Hosanna. It is a wonderful choice for parishes looking to enrich their liturgy with indigenous sacred music that feels both majestic and deeply rooted in the community's voice.
