Osei Boateng was a Ghanaian choral composer whose works are characterized by rich harmonic language and deep scriptural engagement. His compositions exist primarily in Finale files and handwritten manuscripts — representing the very kind of music that risks being lost when Ghanaian composers pass away. Boateng's choral works reflect the Akan tradition of contemplative worship, where music creates space for reflection on God's faithfulness and the brevity of human life.
