Une R' Ejiro

"Une R' Ejiro" is a vibrant Urhobo choral piece that captures the rhythmic energy and joyful spirit of Nigerian choral festivals. The music itself is a lively, polyphonic call to worship, echoing with the repeated, driving exhortation to praise God ("Jiro-ghene"). It is the kind of piece that brings a choir loft to life, demanding tight harmonies and an infectious momentum that naturally moves anyone listening.

Originally marked on the score as an entry for a 2003 festival by the Delta State University choir in Abraka, this arrangement reflects the proud tradition of university choirs championing indigenous sacred music. Choirs often favor this style of dynamic, layered composition for special presentations, cultural days, or concert performances where the singers can really let loose.

Learning a piece like this requires a choir to lock into the groove and master the overlapping vocal entries. When the parts finally come together, the traditional Urhobo expressions of faith create a thrilling, high-energy choral experience that celebrates God with genuine cultural pride.
