Enwere m aṅụrị / Nna Nara

This score brings together two distinct moments of the Mass in Igbo, beginning with a joyful setting of Psalm 122, "Enwere m aṅụrị" (I rejoiced when I heard them say). It captures the eager, communal spirit of gathering for worship, making it a natural choice for an Entrance procession. The melody moves with a steady, walking pace that reflects the journey of the faithful up to the house of the Lord, inviting the whole congregation to join in the gladness of arriving at the altar.

The second part of the sheet offers "Nna Nara," a gentle and reverent piece intended for the Offertory and Consecration. Here, the mood shifts from the exuberance of the gathering to a quiet offering of gifts. The choir sings of presenting a holy and living sacrifice, asking the Father to receive and bless the offerings of His children. Together, these pieces provide a choir with music that frames the Mass beautifully—from the first steps into the church to the solemn preparation of the Eucharist.
