About Osivwi na rhi rhe
"Osivwi na rhi rhe" is a joyful Urhobo Christmas anthem that announces the arrival of the newborn King. From the opening declaration of "Urinrin k'Oghẹne vwo be nu" (Glory to God in the highest), the piece captures the profound excitement of the Nativity. It is a song that invites the entire congregation to rejoice because the long-awaited Savior has finally come down to earth.
In the choir loft during the Christmas season, this piece shines as a vibrant call to worship. The flowing solfa lines build a rich harmony that carries the message of peace ("Ufuoma ri'akpọ re") and salvation. As the voices weave together, urging everyone to kneel and offer praise, the music reflects the warmth and deep faith of Nigerian Catholic celebrations. It is a perfect choice for Offertory or as a festive meditation during the Christmas morning Mass, filling the church with a spirit of profound gratitude.
