NNA ANYỊ NỌ N'ELIGWE

"Nna Anyị Nọ N'eligwe" is a reverent Igbo setting of the Lord's Prayer. It carries the familiar, comforting weight of the "Our Father," a prayer that forms the heartbeat of Catholic worship. Fr. C. Ezenduka’s arrangement presents these sacred words with a straightforward melody that allows the congregation to easily join the choir in supplication.

Choirs typically sing this during the Communion Rite of the Mass, right after the Eucharistic Prayer, as the entire church prepares to receive the Eucharist. The gentle flow of the solfa notation guides voices through the essential petitions—asking for daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil ("zọpụta anyị n'ajọ ihe").

Singing the Lord's Prayer brings a profound sense of unity to the church. When the voices rise together to ask God not to let us fall into temptation ("Ekwela k'anyị kwenye na nlanye"), it becomes a shared moment of faith and reliance on God's grace.
