BIANU K'ANYI KWEERE DINWENU UKWE OTITO

"Bianu K'anyi Kweere Dinwenu Ukwe Otito" is a joyful Igbo entrance hymn that invites the entire congregation to lift their voices in praise. Drawing its lyrics directly from Psalm 95, the song opens with a bright, welcoming chorus that sets a tone of reverence and celebration, urging everyone to bow before the Creator.

Originally selected as an "Own Choice" piece for the Onitsha Archdiocesan Singing Competition, the arrangement by Ezeigwe Chidi is full of rhythmic energy and rich four-part harmonies. The verses walk through the familiar scriptural journey—from offering thanks to the Rock of our salvation, to the solemn reminder not to harden our hearts.

For a choir director, this piece is a wonderful way to open a Sunday Mass or a special feast day. The transition into unison singing in the final verse brings a powerful, unified voice to the warning of Meribah and Massah, leaving the congregation ready and attentive for the liturgy ahead.
