Eze Amulu Ohuru

"Eze Amulu Ohuru" is a vibrant and joyous Christmas anthem that brings the excitement of the Nativity right into the choir loft. Written by Jude Nnam, the title translates to "The New Born King," and the music perfectly captures the urgency and celebration of Christ's birth. From the opening call that a historic event has happened ("Ihe akuko emeelanuo"), the song invites everyone to dance and rejoice because the Savior has arrived in Bethlehem.

As we move through the verses, the piece paints a vivid picture of the Christmas story. We sing of the shining star in the sky ("Kpakpando n'amuke") guiding the three wise men from the East, and we see Mary holding her newborn child. The final verse echoes the song of the angels, bringing down God's glory and proclaiming peace to people of good will. It is an energetic, rhythmic piece for a choir to sing during the Christmas season, bringing the true festive spirit of the birth of Jesus to the congregation.
