OTITO DIRI CHINEKE

"Otito Diri Chineke" is a vibrant and beloved Igbo setting of the Gloria, composed by the renowned Nigerian liturgical musician Jude Nnam. From the very first notes of the refrain, it captures the exultant joy of the angels' song, inviting the entire congregation to lift their voices in praising God. The rhythmic drive and rich harmonies make it a favorite for Sunday Masses and festive celebrations across the country.

The verses walk beautifully through the traditional text of the Gloria—praising, blessing, and adoring the Father, before turning to Christ the Lamb of God. Choirs will appreciate how the arrangement balances the solemnity of the prayer with a lively, uplifting tempo. It is the kind of piece that fills the church with energy, perfectly setting the tone for the Liturgy of the Word.
