Sanctus
Description: Ordinary chant. A hymn sung by Justinian which is Dante's invention, it recalls the Sanctus from the liturgy of the Mass, which is the hymn we have recorded here. This invented hymn mixes Latin with three Hebrew terms (Hosanna, sabaoth/hosts, malacoth/kingdoms).
Genre: Gregorian chant
