Enoyaemwan Orore Osuohuan Mwen

"Enoyaemwan Orore Osuohuan Mwen" is a sweeping, through-composed choral setting of Psalm 23 ("The Lord is my shepherd") sung in the Edo language. Composed by Ezomo John Osasere and Izevbigie Omorogie, the piece is written for a lead soprano soloist, full SATB choir, and traditional percussion instruments including the udu, ukuse, and egogo.

The arrangement allows the soloist to carry the narrative of the psalm—from the peaceful imagery of green pastures and still waters ("O mu mwen lovbie vbe oha ne ofurre") to the fearless walk through the valley of the shadow of death. The choir provides a rich, harmonic backdrop, echoing the soloist's declarations of faith and culminating in the final, resounding "Isee" (Amen) as the psalmist promises to dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

With its deeply scriptural text and indigenous rhythmic drive, this piece is a powerful choice for the Responsorial Psalm, especially during Lent and Holy Week, or as an anthem of comfort and trust in God's providence. The interplay between the solo voice and the choir brings the ancient words of King David to life in a uniquely Nigerian Catholic context.
