Noyaemwan rre do mima fan

When the Christmas season arrives, choirs look for pieces that capture the sheer joy of the Nativity. "Noyaemwan rre do mima fan" is a vibrant Edo carol that does exactly that. The words carry the joyful message that the Savior has come to redeem us, setting a festive and triumphant tone from the very first measure. It announces the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, inviting everyone to prepare their hearts and join in the celebration.

The arrangement is built on a lively call-and-response structure, with a cantor leading the narrative while the choir answers with bright, rhythmic harmonies. As the song progresses, the repeated cries of "Oghogho ma ye" (we are joyful) build a wonderful momentum that sweeps through the church. It is a perfect piece for the Christmas Day Mass, especially during the Offertory or as a lively Recessional, leaving the congregation uplifted and full of the season's gladness.
