I wanted to share a program that I had the great privilege of being on last week called Notes from Above<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019s a production of Ave Maria Radio and is a weekly conversation about faith and music.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s episode, I got to sit down with Deacon Tom and Sister Sarah as they explored the joyful mysteries of the rosary in honor of Our Lady whose motherhood of the church is particularly honored in the month of May.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In this episode, we explored the Rosary Sonatas<\/em> by Heinrich Biber, a collection of fifteen short sonatas that beautifully intertwine music with spiritual reflection. Our discussion focused on a selection of these sonatas, deepening our appreciation of the joyful mysteries.<\/p>\n

I found the conversation to be truly inspiring. The reflections on both the rosary and the music complemented each other seamlessly, offering a rich and meaningful experience. Personally, being invited as a guest on the show has sparked a newfound interest in this remarkable composition.<\/p>\n

I highly encourage you to listen to the episode, which I\u2019ve linked below. Additionally, consider following Deacon Tom and Sister Sarah\u2019s show each week.<\/a> You can tune in via the Ave Maria website or on radio stations across the network.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s discussion was an enlightening journey into a piece of music I hadn\u2019t encountered before, and I believe readers will find it offers profound spiritual insights as well.<\/p>\n
