WE FLY TO YOUR PATRONAGE!

"We Fly To Your Patronage!" is a beloved English setting of the ancient Marian prayer, brought to life here by the renowned Nigerian composer Sir Jude Nnam. For Catholic choirs, this text holds a deeply special place. It is a prayer of profound trust, seeking the protective mantle of the Blessed Virgin Mary during times of trial.

Nnam’s arrangement captures the quiet urgency and reverence of the words. The piece opens with a unified, earnest plea before moving into a gentle, flowing harmony that carries the congregation's petitions. As the voices weave together through the final lines, repeating the praises of the "ever glorious and Blessed Virgin Mary," the music swells with a sense of enduring hope and comfort.

This short but powerful choral piece is a wonderful choice for May and October devotions, the conclusion of a Rosary procession, or as a meditative motet on Marian feast days. It offers the choir a chance to sing with true tenderness, wrapping the congregation in a familiar, comforting prayer that has echoed through the Church for generations.
