Otito Diri Chineke Ii

When the priest or cantor intones "Otito dịrị Chineke n'elu kach'elu!" (Glory to God in the highest), the choir loft comes alive. Fr. Bart C. Ezeokafor’s "Otito Diri Chineke II" is a vibrant setting of the Gloria in Igbo, capturing the profound joy and reverence of this ancient angelic hymn. It is the kind of piece that instantly lifts the spirit of the congregation during festive Masses and Sunday liturgies.

The arrangement moves with a steady, majestic grace, allowing the choir to proclaim the praises of God clearly and harmoniously. As the voices weave through the familiar text—blessing, adoring, and glorifying the Father and the Son—the music builds a deep sense of communal worship. By the time the choir reaches the resounding string of "Amens" at the close, the entire church is swept up in the glorious praise of the Holy Trinity.
