About Osivwi na rhi rhe
"Osivwi Na Rhi Rhe" is a joyous Urhobo Christmas carol that announces the birth of the Saviour. From the very first line, the song rings out with the angels' message of "Urinrin k'Oghene" (Glory to God) and the gift of His Son to the earth. It is a piece full of bright, celebratory energy, calling the congregation to rejoice because the long-awaited Redeemer has finally arrived.
For a choir, this makes a wonderful Entrance hymn during the Christmas season. The rhythmic flow of the solfa notation drives the melody forward, building up to a lively chorus where all voices unite in praise. When the choir sings of "Ufuoma ri'akpo re" (peace on earth) in the second verse, it brings the message of the Nativity right into the heart of the liturgy. It is a song that instantly lifts the spirit of the church, inviting everyone to kneel in adoration and welcome the newborn King.
