"GLORY TO GOD!" DAUKAKA GA ALLAH

"Daukaka Ga Allah" is a vibrant Hausa setting of the Gloria, composed by Jude Nnam in 1999. Written entirely in solfa notation, this piece captures the joyful and majestic spirit of the great hymn of praise. It is a familiar and beloved choice for Catholic choirs across Nigeria, bringing the sounds of the Hausa language into the heart of the Mass.

The arrangement follows the traditional liturgical text of the Gloria, moving from the bright opening proclamation to the solemn petitions addressed to the Lamb of God. Nnam's choral writing allows the different voice parts to weave together naturally, creating a sense of communal worship that lifts the congregation's hearts during festive Sunday Masses and solemnities.
