É Gloria

"É Gloria" is a lively and rhythmic setting of the Gloria, bringing the vibrant energy of Central African worship to the choir loft. Sung in Kikongo, the piece centers around the joyful repetition of "nkembo" (glory), inviting the entire congregation into a spirited hymn of praise. The melody is bright and driving, perfectly capturing the exultant nature of the angels' song.

As the Gloria of the Mass, this arrangement by Onwe P. P. is ideal for festive Sundays, Easter, and major celebrations where a sense of exuberant thanksgiving is needed. The steady solfa rhythms and the natural sway of the verses make it a joy to sing. Choirs often turn to this piece when they want to lift the spirit of the liturgy, as its infectious energy naturally encourages the faithful to join in the celebration.
