Ka Anyi Naa

"Ka Anyi Naa" is a vibrant and energetic recessional piece that perfectly captures the joy of a concluded Mass. Written by Anokwu Paschal, the title's call to "go" or "depart" echoes the final dismissal of the liturgy. As the voices declare "Missa agwụsigo" (Mass has ended), the song transitions from a formal conclusion into a lively celebration, urging the congregation to head home in peace and carry the joy of the Eucharist out into the world.

The lyrics remind the faithful of Christ's great commission to His disciples: to go out to all nations and spread the message of deliverance. It is a piece that demands a spirited performance from the choir, especially as the parts weave together in the final sections to repeatedly give thanks to God ("kelee Chukwu"). Complete with written accompaniment parts for traditional instruments like the udu, ichaka, osha, igba, ogene, and okpokoro, this is the kind of closing anthem that leaves a Nigerian Catholic congregation uplifted, clapping, and stepping out of the church doors with renewed faith and energy.
