Sanctus, a penultimate number in St. Luke's mass, is written on the text in Hebrew and in English. The style refers to the general sound of Middle Eastern music with the dance rhythm. The ancient origin of Holy, Holy, Holy is emphasized. The music presupposes wide use of improvisation in the accompaniment (extended refrains between the verses) and in vocal parts. With each new verse, the improvised line gets longer and more sophisticated. There is room for the competition of two singers (if the verses are divided among two of them). The ending should sound as sweet as possible.
