SANCTUS - Igala Language

"Ina Ina" is a vibrant and uplifting setting of the Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy) composed in the Igala language. Written as part of the "Mass of Joy," the piece carries a bright, energetic tempo that perfectly captures the triumphant nature of this great acclamation. In the choir loft, it serves as a rousing moment of praise during the Eucharistic Prayer, inviting the entire congregation to join the heavenly chorus.

The arrangement is built on lively, rhythmic exchanges, particularly in the refrain where the sopranos lead the joyful cry of "Ẹgahi, ki da ta tẹ" (Hosanna in the highest). The verses proclaim God's glory filling heaven and earth before welcoming the one who comes in the name of the Lord. It is a wonderful choice for festive Masses and Sunday liturgies, bringing a deeply indigenous and celebratory spirit to the altar.
