SI AMEN (REV. 1)

"Si Amen" is a majestic choral anthem that brings the heavenly worship of Revelation 7:12 to life in the Igbo language. Composed by Sir Sam Ojukwu, the piece is a grand declaration of praise, calling on the choir and congregation to ascribe all blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might to God forever.

The anthem opens with a resounding chorus of "Amens" before unfolding into its rich, scriptural text. As the piece progresses, different sections of the choir take up the various attributes of God—singing of His ngozi (blessing), otuto (praise), and amamihe (wisdom). The music builds with rhythmic intensity, especially in the driving sections declaring God's ike (power) and ume (might), creating a sense of overwhelming, joyful adoration.

Perfect for grand celebrations, feast days, or as a powerful concert piece, this anthem demands energy and precision from the choir. The final coda, with its overlapping calls to "Si Amen" (Say Amen), drives the piece to a thrilling, triumphant close, leaving everyone who hears it uplifted and ready to join in the heavenly chorus.
