Mi Mha Fan

"Mi Mha Fan" is an energetic Esan choral piece composed by David Irobonosen. The song is an earnest prayer for deliverance and guidance, calling upon "Osenobla" (God) to intervene in the struggles of life. Through its rhythmic and repetitive vocal lines, the choir lifts up a communal petition for salvation and divine assistance.

The arrangement is built on a lively framework that makes it highly effective for celebratory moments and recessions at the end of Mass. As the choir weaves through the harmony parts, a distinct Tenor solo emerges, creating a dynamic call-and-response with the rest of the voices. The music steadily builds in momentum, shifting from a plea for help to a confident declaration of faith.

For the choir, mastering this piece means leaning into its driving rhythm and tight harmonies. The final section, punctuated by the resounding "Ise ise" (Amen), sends the congregation forth with a profound sense of blessing and joy. It is a wonderful expression of indigenous worship, perfectly suited for festive occasions and joyful dismissals.
