Mai Tsarki, Mai Tsarki

"Mai Tsarki, Mai Tsarki" is a reverent Hausa setting of the Sanctus, the great hymn of praise sung during the Eucharistic Prayer. As the priest concludes the Preface, the choir and congregation join their voices with the angels and saints to proclaim the holiness of God. The repeated opening words set a tone of deep awe for this solemn and joyful moment in the Mass.

The arrangement flows with a steady, rhythmic dignity that perfectly suits the text. Opening with the threefold declaration of "Mai Tsarki, Ubangiji Allah Mai runduna," the melody builds a sense of reverence before lifting into the bright, repeated acclamations of "Hosanna cikin Sama."

Choirs will find this piece especially moving as it transitions into the Benedictus section, "Mai Albarka ne wanda yake zuwa." The harmonies support a strong, unified congregational voice, making it an excellent choice for Sunday worship and feast days in Hausa-speaking Catholic communities.
