Mimo

"Mimo" is a majestic Yoruba setting of the Sanctus, composed by Clinton E. Ehimare. It captures the reverence and awe of the "Holy, Holy, Holy" sung just before the Eucharistic prayer. The piece opens with a bold, maestoso declaration from the sopranos, quickly joined by the rest of the choir in a warm harmonic texture that grounds the congregation in the solemnity of the Mass.

As the choir moves into "Ọrun oun aiyé kun fun ogo rẹ" (Heaven and earth are full of your glory), the arrangement builds a sense of joyful praise. The transition into the Benedictus ("Ibukún ni f'ẹni ton bọ wá") offers a gentle, melodic contrast before rising again for the final, triumphant "Hosana lokè ọrun." It is an excellent choice for choirs looking to bring a dignified, indigenous expression of worship to the altar during Sunday Mass or special feast days.
