YEDZE NO KESEYE MAW'

"Yedze No Keseye Maw'" is a magnificent, large-scale choral anthem of praise composed by Mensah-Essilfie. Sung in Akan, the title translates to a resounding declaration: "We give You the glory." The piece is a thrilling journey of thanksgiving, calling on the heavenly host and the congregation alike to lift up their voices in adoration of the Almighty.

Throughout its ten pages, the anthem builds in intensity and devotion. The lyrics weave together powerful names of God—El-Shaddai, Adonai, Jehovah, and Elohim—while declaring Him the Alpha and Omega. Choirs will find themselves navigating dynamic shifts, from tender moments of blessing ("nhyira") and gratitude ("ndaase") to triumphant, full-voiced sections where the sopranos soar above the harmony.

Originally marked as a competition piece for a national choir conference, this arrangement demands stamina and joyful energy. It is perfect for grand celebrations, feast days, or any major thanksgiving service where the choir wants to offer a truly majestic sacrifice of praise. The rhythmic drive and layered vocal parts make it a deeply moving experience for both the singers in the loft and the congregation listening below.
