Urinrin K'Oghene

"Urinrin K'Oghene" is a vibrant setting of the Gloria in the Urhobo language, capturing the joyful praise of the ancient angelic hymn. The title echoes the great proclamation of "Glory to God," and the piece is designed to lift the congregation's voices during the introductory rites of the Mass.

The solfa notation provides a rhythmic and engaging melody, structured with a recurring refrain that anchors the five verses. Choirs will appreciate the clear, stacked verse layout which allows the different sections of the Gloria—from praising the Father to pleading with the Son—to flow naturally without losing the momentum of the song.

It is a wonderful choice for festive Masses and Sunday liturgies where an indigenous Urhobo setting can deepen the community's worship experience, bringing a localized warmth to the universal words of the liturgy.
