OJIE OS'ORIRI by David Irobonosen — Lyrics
About OJIE OS'ORIRI
"Ojie Os'oriri" is a vibrant and majestic choral piece sung in the Esan language, celebrating God as the Supreme King. From the very first notes, the song establishes a royal and reverent atmosphere, opening with a soaring tenor solo that calls out to the "King of kings" before the full choir joins in a rhythmic, joyful declaration of praise.
The arrangement is deeply rooted in traditional Nigerian musical expression, complete with dedicated staves for indigenous percussion instruments like the akala, ukuse, ekede, and egogo. This rhythmic foundation drives the choir's harmonies forward, making it an excellent choice for a festive Entrance procession or a lively Offertory. The dynamic interplay between the soloist and the choir builds a sense of communal worship that easily moves a congregation to its feet.
Choirs will appreciate the rich, layered vocal parts and the energetic tempo shifts that give the piece its life. Singing "Ojie Os'oriri" brings a powerful, culturally resonant sound to the Mass, lifting hearts in genuine celebration of God's glory.
