About OGO F'OLORUN L'OKE
"Ogo F'Olorun L'oke" is a vibrant Yoruba setting of the Gloria, capturing the joyful song of the angels in a way that truly lifts the spirit of the congregation. When the choir launches into the opening chorus, proclaiming glory to God in the highest, it sets a festive and celebratory tone that is perfect for Sunday Mass and major feast days.
The arrangement by Saani Ifeoluwa Richard and S. S. S. Edoki moves beautifully through the traditional text of the Gloria. It breaks the prayer down into three distinct verses, allowing the choir to reflect on the peace promised to people of good will, the majesty of the Father, and the redemptive work of the Lamb of God. The rhythmic flow of the Yoruba language gives the piece a natural, driving energy.
Singing this piece is always a joy for a choir. The bright, steady tempo keeps everyone moving forward together, building up to the final, majestic Coda where we praise the Holy Trinity. It is the kind of setting that encourages the whole church to join their voices in thanksgiving.
