About LAHADI TA BAYYANUWAR UBANGIJI

When preparing for the Feast of the Epiphany, choirs need a Responsorial Psalm that captures the majesty of the Magi's arrival and the universal kingship of Christ. This setting of Psalm 72 by Evang. Cletus B. Jurbe does exactly that. Written with a solemn, steady cadence, it provides a dignified backdrop for the cantor to proclaim the familiar verses about the kings of Tarshish and Sheba bringing their tribute.

What makes this particular score so practical for Nigerian parishes is its dual-language layout. The first page offers the complete psalm in Hausa ("Lahadi Ta Bayyanuwar Ubangiji"), while the second page provides the English version ("The Epiphany of the Lord"). Both use the same four-part solfa harmony for the refrain and the same melodic structure for the verses, making it easy for a choir to learn the music once and sing it in whichever language the Mass requires.

The refrain itself—"All nations shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord"—is set to a strong, homophonic chorus that the congregation can easily pick up. During the verses, the melody allows the text to flow naturally, ensuring the assembly hears every word of the promise that justice will flourish and the needy will be saved. It is a fitting, reverent piece for one of the most joyful feast days of the liturgical year.
