ANYỊARỊỌ (P.O.F)

“Anyịarịọ” is a gentle, earnest Igbo setting for the Prayer of the Faithful, composed by Alex Ugwu (Ozige). Written specifically for the intercessions during Mass, the song provides a melodic, unified response for the congregation to lift their petitions to God.

The lyrics translate to a simple, direct plea: “We ask of you, God... We ask of you, our good Father... We ask of you, please hear our prayer... We ask of you, please Father answer us.” In the choir loft, this piece serves as a beautiful, meditative anchor between the spoken intentions, allowing the faithful to join their voices in a shared moment of supplication. Its straightforward solfa arrangement makes it accessible for choirs to learn and lead effectively during the liturgy.
