Ma nong Sago Vog di Dagwi

"Ma nong Sago Vog di Dagwi" is a vibrant setting of the Nicene Creed, composed in the Berom language. For choirs in Plateau State and beyond, singing the profession of faith in the local tongue brings a deep sense of ownership to this central moment of the Mass. The Creed is not just recited; it is joyfully proclaimed.

The structure of the piece makes it highly engaging for the congregation. As the verses walk through the core tenets of the Catholic faith—from belief in God the Father (Dagwi) and Jesus Christ (Yesu) to the Holy Spirit and the Church (Ekelisia Katolika)—each line is anchored by the rhythmic, affirming response "ma nong sago." This repetition keeps the momentum moving forward and allows the choir to declare their faith with unified conviction.

Edwin N. Gambo's 2013 arrangement uses a straightforward, driving solfa melody that builds naturally toward the final, resounding "Amin." It is a wonderful choice for Sunday liturgies, transforming the Creed from a spoken text into a lively, communal act of worship that resonates deeply with the people.
