Sanctus is a single movement, ternary work that
triumphantly declares the sovereignty of God. The
rhythmic 5/8 drive of the opening Sanctus melody with
timpani, strings and chorus pushes toward a serenely angelic
statement of the "Pleni Sunt Coeli" text beneath high
strings, ending with a powerful and glorious "Osanna in
Excelsis!"
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni Sunt Coeli et Terra Gloria Tua.
Osanna in Excelsis!
Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are filled with thy
glory.
Hosanna in the highest!
Sanctus is currently undergoing revision.
