Nna Anyi No N'igwe by Agujiobi — Lyrics
About Nna Anyi No N'igwe
"Nna Anyi Nọ N'igwe" is a deeply comforting Igbo setting of the Lord's Prayer. Agujiobi's arrangement takes the familiar words of the "Our Father" and shapes them into a gentle, rhythmic call and response. Instead of singing the prayer straight through, the verses break the petitions into distinct lines—asking for daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil—while the refrain anchors each request with a faithful "Amen."
In the choir loft, this piece is often brought out during the Communion rite or as a dedicated prayer meditation. The solfa notation is straightforward, making it easy for a choir to pick up and sing with natural devotion. Because the melody feels so conversational and grounded, it naturally invites the congregation to reflect on the words Christ taught us, turning a standard part of the Mass into a shared, heartfelt dialogue.
