MAI TSARKI (Hausa)

"Mai Tsarki" is a vibrant Hausa setting of the Sanctus, composed by Jude Nnam. It brings the traditional "Holy, Holy, Holy" text of the Mass to life with rhythmic energy and joyful reverence.

Sung during the Eucharistic Prayer, this piece lifts the congregation's voices in the great acclamation, joining the choirs of angels. The repetition of "O mai tsarki" builds a sense of awe, while the lively "Hosanna a cikin samaniya" (Hosanna in the highest) invites everyone to praise God with full hearts.

Choirs love this arrangement for its engaging harmonies and the natural, driving rhythm of the Hausa language. It transforms a solemn moment of the liturgy into a bright, uplifting celebration of God's holiness.
