Sanctus

When the preface concludes and the congregation prepares for the Eucharistic Prayer, the choir leads the faithful into the "Sanctus". This setting by Albert Adékúnlé Gomez, drawn from his *Mass of Joy*, brings a bright and reverent energy to one of the most important acclamations of the liturgy. The voices build a sense of awe, perfectly matching the moment we join the angels in praising God.

Singing the "Holy, Holy, Holy" in Latin connects the local parish loft to the universal Church. The piece opens with stately, measured chords for the opening declarations of God's holiness, before flowing into a more lively and moving "Hosanna in excelsis." It is an excellent choice for feast days or a solemn Sunday Mass, giving the choir a chance to elevate the liturgy with rich, traditional harmonies that are both joyful and deeply prayerful.
