About EKWERE M N'OTU CHINEKE

When a choir takes up Jude Nnam’s "Ekwere M N'otu Chineke," they are singing the very foundation of the Catholic faith. This majestic Igbo setting of the Nicene Creed moves beyond a simple recitation, turning the profession of faith into a sweeping choral journey. From the opening declaration of belief in one God, the music carries the congregation through the mysteries of creation, salvation, and eternal life.

One of the most striking moments in this arrangement is the a cappella section marking the Incarnation. As the choir sings "Site na Mmụọ Nsọ... wee ghọọ mmadụ" (By the Holy Spirit... and became man), the instruments drop away. This sudden, reverent stillness mirrors the profound mystery of the Word made flesh, perfectly capturing the moment in the Mass where the faithful bow in reverence.

The energy shifts dramatically as the piece reaches the Resurrection. A triumphant second refrain, "O bilitekwara n'ọnwụ," bursts forth, celebrating Christ's victory over death before the choir drives toward the final, resounding Amens. It is a demanding but deeply rewarding piece for a choir to master, anchoring the Liturgy of the Word with profound solemnity and joy.
