Omala eyi Ojo

"OMALA EYI OJO" is a reverent and straightforward Igala setting of the Agnus Dei, composed by Sanctus Oleka. Sung during the breaking of the bread, this piece carries the deep, pleading nature of the Mass's final ordinary prayer. The melody is gentle but firm, allowing the choir to lead the congregation in a unified cry for mercy and peace before Communion.

What makes this arrangement particularly moving is its rhythmic repetition. As the voices layer the plea "chejumomiwa" (have mercy on us), it builds a sense of earnest petition. This naturally gives way to the final, calming resolution of "dẹbẹbonwuwa" (grant us peace), settling the hearts of the faithful as they prepare to approach the altar. It is a wonderful choice for choirs looking to bring indigenous reverence into the Communion rite.
