Ọdọ Aguntan Ọlọrun {Lamb of God}

"Ọdọ Aguntan Ọlọrun {Lamb of God}" is a reverent Yoruba setting of the Agnus Dei, composed by Ehimanre Asuelinmen Victus Eze. Sung during the fraction rite of the Mass, this piece accompanies the breaking of the bread before Communion, inviting the congregation into a moment of deep reflection and petition for God's mercy.

The musical arrangement uses a unique, flowing structure that breaks the traditional prayer into distinct melodic phrases across its systems. It opens with the solemn choral invocation "Ọdọ aguntan," moving into a repeated, earnest plea for mercy ("ṣaanu fun wa"), and concludes with a beautiful unison prayer for peace ("fun wa ni alaafia").

Written entirely in solfa notation, this score is highly accessible for Nigerian Catholic choirs. It offers a culturally resonant and deeply moving way to lead the faithful in this solemn liturgical moment, blending traditional Yoruba language with the universal prayer of the Church.
