About Ku manne wa juna
This extensive collection functions as a complete choral suite for the sacrament of Holy Matrimony, compiled and composed by Abraham Nentaweh Iliya. It weaves together a rich tapestry of wedding anthems, hymns, and scriptural narratives in both Hausa and English, providing choirs with a comprehensive resource for every moment of a wedding celebration.
The work opens with "Ku manne wa juna" (Cleave to one another), setting the foundational theme of marriage drawn from Genesis. It then journeys through beloved biblical stories, including the devotion of Ruth and Naomi and the creation of Adam and Eve ("Adamu da Hauwawu"), exploring the deep bonds of love and the divine institution of marriage.
Alongside these indigenous compositions, the collection incorporates classic English wedding pieces like "What God Has Joined Together," "God, Give Us Christian Homes," and "Oh Perfect Love." The inclusion of joyful, formal anthems such as "Rejoice in the Lord alway" and "O Sing Unto God" ensures that the choir can lift the congregation's spirits in praise. It is a profound and celebratory anthology that honors the sacred vows of marriage through diverse musical traditions.
