About OGO, OGO, ALLELU... ALLELUYA
This vibrant setting of the Gloria brings the great angelic hymn of praise into the Yoruba language. Titled "Ogo, Ogo, Allelu... Alleluya," the piece opens with a bright, soaring female solo that calls the congregation to worship before the full choir bursts into a rhythmic, joyful chorus of "Ogo, ogo, Allelu, Alleluya" (Glory, glory, Alleluia).
The verses follow the traditional structure of the Gloria, moving from high praise of God the Father to a plea for mercy from the Lamb of God, and concluding with the triumphant declaration of the Holy Trinity. Sung entirely in solfa notation, the arrangement is lively and deeply rooted in the celebratory spirit of Nigerian Catholic worship. It is a perfect choice for festive Masses, Easter, and Christmas, where the choir and congregation can truly lift their voices to proclaim glory to God in the highest.
