Nwaturu Nke Chukwu by Nduka Aku — Lyrics
About Nwaturu Nke Chukwu
"Nwaturu Nke Chukwu" is a gentle, reverent setting of the Agnus Dei in Igbo, arranged by Nduka-aku. Sung during the breaking of the bread, this piece carries the profound weight of the Mass's final litany, asking for mercy and peace before the congregation approaches the altar for Communion.
The arrangement is written in a straightforward four-part harmony, making it accessible for choirs to learn and blend. The melody moves with a quiet dignity, perfectly matching the solemn plea of "Onye ne kpochapu njo nke uwa" (You who take away the sins of the world). It concludes with the lingering request for peace, "Nye anyi udo," a moment that brings a deep sense of calm to the church as the altar is prepared.
