Iri Owu Nana Tamuno

"Iri Owu Nana Tamuno" is a deeply moving prayer sung in the Ijaw language. As the composer's own translation notes on the score explain, the text calls upon God as the ultimate listener and the owner of all things, reminding the congregation that He alone truly hears and answers the cries of His people, day and night.

In the choir loft, this piece serves beautifully during moments of petition, such as the Prayer of the Faithful, or as a reflective meditation. The arrangement builds through its three marked sections, moving from a steady declaration of God's sovereignty to an earnest plea for forgiveness and divine attention.

Singing "Tamunọ" with the layered harmonies provided in this solfa score allows the choir to express a profound sense of trust. It is a wonderful choice for worship leaders looking to lead their congregation into a space of sincere, heartfelt prayer.
