I think it is beautiful liturgy but I am a bit confused, I hear the Sursum Corda and then the Preface which precedes the Sancus, and this must be rather unusual?!
It's a section of the Mass, in praise of the Holy Trinity. "Sanctus" is Latin for "Holy," which the angels cry before the throne of God unceasingly (Isaiah 6:3).
The Sanctus is as follows:
"Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of power and might. Heaven and Earth are full of your glory - hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, hosanna in the highest."
It's used in Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican/Episcopal, Lutheran, and some Methodist and Presbyterian churches.
The setting is the Mass of St Thomas by Derek Holman. It was written for this Parish (St Thomas's, Huron Street, in Toronto) in the early 1970s to mark its centernary.
I am very sorry must been confused myself for another reason, I think I meant it was unusual that the congregation does not sing the Sanctus.

karpov,
no, not at all.
In ALL usages (I believe) of the Western Rite, following the Offertory of bread and wine,
the Sursum Corda (lift up your hearts)
is followed by a preface (proper to the specific feast, on all feasts including Sundays)
which leads into the Choral Sanctus.
This is immediately followed by the Prayer of Consecration and later, the Communion of the priest and congregation..

This is just beautiful, but could you please explain it to me? What is The Santus? Is it a type of liturgy? What is being said? Thanks?
