Ekiti Kyrie & Lamb Of God - Gtone

This bilingual Mass setting provides choirs with two essential parts of the liturgy in one accessible arrangement. Arranged by Tony Fatuki, the piece opens the Mass with a localized plea for mercy and later accompanies the breaking of the bread with a solemn prayer for peace.

The Kyrie section is set in the Ekiti dialect of Yoruba, singing "Oluwa saanu ri a o" (Lord, have mercy on us). This regional touch brings a deep, cultural reverence to the Penitential Rite, allowing the congregation to seek God's forgiveness in a familiar tongue. The melody is gentle and reflective, perfectly suited for the solemnity of the opening rites.

For the Agnus Dei, the setting transitions into English. "O Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world" flows with a steady, comforting harmony that guides the faithful toward Communion. By combining these two movements, choirs can easily learn and integrate this setting into their regular Sunday worship.
