Nso Nso Nso by Agu Wilfred — Lyrics
About Nso Nso Nso
"Nso Nso Nso" is a vibrant Igbo setting of the Sanctus, the great acclamation of praise sung just before the Eucharistic Prayer. Composed by Agu Wilfred, the piece opens with a majestic, echoing repetition of "Nso" (Holy) that immediately draws the congregation into the reverence of the Mass, joining their voices with the choirs of angels.
As the song moves into the "Hosanna" and the Benedictus ("Ọ dị ngọzi bụ onye bịara..."), the rhythm picks up, bringing a joyful energy to the liturgy. The overlapping vocal parts in these sections create a rich, uplifting sound that fills the church with praise. It is a wonderful choice for Sunday worship and festive Masses, offering choirs a beautiful way to lead the people into the most solemn part of the celebration.
