KWAGHYAN U HÔRON

"Kwaghyan u Hôron" is a deeply reflective Lenten piece by Adams Orseer, drawing its message directly from the Gospel of Matthew 6:17. Sung in Tiv, the song reminds the faithful of the true nature of fasting and sacrifice. Rather than a public display, it calls for quiet devotion—giving alms, praying, and fasting in a way that is known only to God, who sees what is done in secret and rewards the sincere heart.

Choirs will find this piece especially meaningful during the season of Lent, particularly on Ash Wednesday or during penitential services when the church focuses on inner conversion. The gentle, steady movement of the solfa notation allows the choir to deliver the text with a sense of reverence and sincerity. As the voices blend in the chorus, the harmony reinforces the call to keep our spiritual disciplines humble, making it a fitting meditation for the congregation as they journey toward Easter.
