The Sanctus prayer is in Latin, so it follows ecclesiastical latin pronunciation. In Latin, the consonants are pronounced exactly as they are in English. An exception is 'C' at the beginning of a word which is pronounced like 'Ch' as in 'church'.

Of the vowels, 'A' is pronounced like 'o' as in 'top'.

'E' is pronounced like 'a' as in 'tame'.

'I' is pronounced' like 'e' in 'beep'.

'O' is pronounced like 'o' as in 'tone'.

'U' is pronounced like 'u' as in 'you'.

So the Sanctus is pronounced like this:

Sahnc-toos Sahnc-toos Sahnc-toos. Doe-mee-noos Day-oos sah-bah-ot. Play-nee soont chay-lee et tair-ah glor-ee-ah too-ah. Hoe-zon-ah in ek-shell-sees. Ben-e-deek-toos quee vain-eet in noe-mee-nay Doe-mee-nee. Hoe-zon-ah in ek-shell-sees. Ah-men.

As helpful as these guidelines may be, the best way to learn pronunciation is- if possible- to listen to someone say this prayer, and imitate them syllable by syllable.

What does sanctus et benedictus mean?

Taken in context together, "Sanctus" is the acclamation translated as "Holy" found at the opening of the Eucharistic prayer in Roman Catholic Church. "Sanctus"/"Holy" is a reference to the seraphic hymn of Isaiah (Is 6:3) which is also seen in the heavenly liturgy of Revelation (Rev. 4:8). "Benedictus" is the adjectieve "blessed", (Ps 118:26) in reference to those who "come in the name of the Lord". In classical music, these two elements "Sanctus" and "Benedictus" were sung during the consecration of "Traditional" Roman Catholic Mass, the Sanctus immediately prececeding, the Benedictus immediately afterwards. In the modern liturgy, the entire hymn is sung after the preface and before the Eucharistic prayer. The entire acclamation in English as found in the modern liturgy (ICEL): 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. Latin: Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus. Domine Deus sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra et Gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
