Iho Iho Iho (Sanctus In Idoma)

"Iho Iho Iho" is a vibrant Idoma setting of the Sanctus, composed by Nduka-aku as part of the "Mass of Joy". This piece brings a bright, rhythmic energy to the heart of the Eucharistic prayer, inviting the congregation to join the choirs of angels in their unending hymn of praise. The repeated, reverent calls of "Iho" (Holy) establish a deep sense of awe before the music opens up into the joyful, cascading acclamations of "Osana".

In the choir loft, singers will appreciate the straightforward four-part harmony that gives the piece its robust, full-bodied sound without being overly complex to learn. The steady pulse keeps the momentum moving forward, making it an excellent choice for festive Masses and vibrant Sunday liturgies where a lively, indigenous expression of the Sanctus is desired. The rhythmic drive in the final section naturally lifts the spirit of the entire church, beautifully preparing the hearts of the faithful for the solemn moment of consecration.
