About Nnukwu Ajuju (big Question)

"Nnukwu Ajuju" (Big Question) is a lively and inventive choral piece that brings a sense of playfulness to the choir loft. Written by Alvan-Ikoku O. Nnamara, it is a brilliant example of a concert or special arrangement where the music itself becomes the subject of the song. The lyrics cleverly weave standard tonic sol-fa syllables—Doh, Re, Mi, Fa, Soh—directly into the Igbo text, creating a musical dialogue that asks, "You asked me a big question, do you want me to answer?"

Choirs typically bring out this kind of piece for concerts, choir anniversaries, or special presentations rather than during the solemn parts of the Mass. It demands sharp attention from the singers, as the parts bounce off one another in a fast-paced, rhythmic exchange. The repetition of phrases like "Mmanzarọ kwa" (I will not answer) and the dramatic "E-ye!" exclamations build an energetic, almost theatrical atmosphere that congregations and audiences love.

Singing "Nnukwu Ajuju" is as much a test of a choir's rhythmic precision as it is a joy to perform. The way the voices layer the solfa notes over the driving Igbo melody makes it a memorable, high-spirited addition to any choral repertoire.
