Rhie 'Kponmwen n'Osalobua..

"Rhie 'Kponmwen n'Osalobua" is a vibrant Edo thanksgiving piece that brings a deep sense of gratitude and energy to the choir loft. Written by V.I. Ihaza, the song calls the congregation to give thanks to God for everything He has done for us. The rhythmic drive of the solfa notation captures the joyful, celebratory spirit typical of Bini choral music, making it an excellent choice for the Offertory procession or any moment of thanksgiving during Mass.

The verses reflect on God's creation and the salvation brought by Jesus Christ, reminding us to offer our praise at all times ("vb'eghe hia"). When the choir sings the repeating "Kponmwosalobua," it creates a layered, uplifting harmony that naturally encourages the whole church to join in the celebration. It is a piece that requires energetic delivery, perfect for feast days and harvest thanksgivings where the joy of the Lord is front and center.
