OWOFU KOYỌ L'OWỌICHO

"Owofu Kọyọ L'Owọicho" is a joyful Idoma setting of the Gloria, composed by Eche Daniel Agbo Jnr. The title carries the opening declaration of the great angelic hymn, calling the faithful to give glory to God in the highest. With its bright, rhythmic pacing, the song captures the celebratory spirit of the Mass, moving through the traditional text of praise, blessing, and adoration.

In the choir loft, this piece shines during festive Sunday Masses and solemnities. The arrangement is structured to let the choir lead the congregation through the familiar prayers of the Gloria in their native tongue, from the opening acclamation to the final "Amin." Singing the Mass parts in indigenous languages always brings a special warmth to the liturgy, and this setting offers a wonderful way for choirs to lift up the worship experience in the Idoma language. It gives the singers a chance to express profound reverence while keeping the energy of the service alive and engaging for everyone in the pews.
