OTITO DILI CHINEKE N'ENU KASI ENU

"Otito Dili Chineke N'enu Kasi Enu" is a vibrant and joyous setting of the Gloria in Igbo, composed by Peace Val Ihim. From the priest's opening intonation, the choir bursts into a lively proclamation of praise, capturing the exultant spirit of the angelic hymn. The rhythmic drive of the solfa notation propels the voices forward, making it a wonderful choice for festive Sunday Masses, Easter, and major solemnities where the Gloria is sung with special vigor.

Singing this piece brings a profound sense of celebration to the introductory rites. As the harmony parts weave together through the familiar text—blessing, adoring, and glorifying God—the congregation is invited into a deep, communal expression of faith. The gentle shift in tone when addressing the "Nwaturu Chukwu" (Lamb of God) provides a beautiful moment of reverence, allowing the choir to express the mercy of Christ before building back up to the triumphant, unified final Amen. It is a setting that truly elevates the liturgy, filling both the sanctuary and the choir loft with a spirit of genuine thanksgiving.
