MIMO

"Mimo" is a vibrant Yoruba setting of the Sanctus, the great acclamation of praise sung during the Eucharistic Prayer. The piece captures the reverence and joy of the heavenly chorus, bringing a distinctly Nigerian Catholic feel to this central moment of the Mass through its rhythmic drive and layered harmonies.

Choirs typically sing this piece just after the Preface, leading the congregation into the heart of the consecration. The repeated declarations of "Mimo l'Olodumare" and the soaring "Hosanna l'oke orun o" create a powerful atmosphere of adoration in the choir loft and throughout the pews. It is a setting that invites everyone to join in the unending hymn of praise.
