Abstract
This study investigates the life history and musical contributions of Reverend Abraham Taiwo Olajide Olude to the development of church music in Nigeria. This distinguished music scholar, generally called Ola Olude, was one of the pioneers of church music in Nigeria and he experienced the rich folkloric dimensions of Yoruba culture that influenced his musical compositions and his general disposition to Yoruba church music. Reverend Ola Olude was a talented composer and hymnologist of no mean degree: he composed many indigenous songs with melodious tunes which had meaningful words. The paper therefore, gives an historical account of his contributions to development of Yoruba church music. The theoretical framework for the study is anchored on Akin Euba intercultural music model which addresses the phenomenon of musical works deriving from more than one culture. The study makes use of ethno-musicological research design with textual analysis of data. The study therefore contributes to knowledge thus: it fills the gap in knowledge by investigating and documents some of his compositions; the results also serve as the link between the past and the present which also assist in securing the future of liturgical Yoruba church music.
