Missa Ngozi - Sanctus (Igbo)

"Missa Ngozi - Sanctus" is a vibrant Igbo setting of the Holy, Holy, Holy, composed by Jude Nnam. From the very first line, the choir breaks into a joyful exclamation of "Nso eh!" (Holy!), setting a lively and celebratory tone for the Eucharistic Prayer. The rhythmic pulse of the melody invites the entire congregation to join the angels and saints in proclaiming the majesty of God, the Lord of hosts.

During the Mass, this piece shines as a moment of profound yet exuberant worship. As the choir sings "Ebube Gị juputara n'eligwe na ụwa" (Your glory fills heaven and earth), the music swells, leading into a triumphant and highly rhythmic "Hosanna" chorus. The repeated, cascading lines of "Hosanna n'elu kachasịelu" build an atmosphere of deep reverence mixed with soaring praise, making it a favorite for festive Sunday liturgies and special celebrations in the Nigerian Catholic Church.
