Cecilia, LA, September 23, 2024— They say singing is praying twice. Musician Laura Huval certainly agrees, especially after coming to the realization that Mary was asking her to increase devotion to the Holy Rosary through her gift of music. Sing the Rosary, a brand new album by Grammy-nominated musician and recording artist Laura Huval, will be available for free download on her website or wherever music is streamed on October 7, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
“Our Lady has asked us to pray the Rosary in so many of her apparitions,” said Huval. “I felt called by the Holy Spirit to use my gift of music to help people experience the Rosary in a new way, while meditating on the life of Christ, and renewing zeal for this ancient devotion.”
Huval’s Sing the Rosary takes listeners on a unique musical journey through the prayers of the Rosary, capturing the heart-swelling reality of Mother Mary’s love for her children. The album features beautifully arranged original melodies that bring the prayers of the Rosary to life, and each decade offers unique background vocal variations and instrumentation.
“We created several iterations of the Hail Mary to carry you through the Rosary in a way that builds to the final prayers. I hope people will find that my artistic contribution to this powerful devotion will renew their experience of the prayer and ultimately bring them closer to Jesus through his mother Mary,” Huval said.
The idea of setting the Rosary to song was inspired by project chaplain Deacon Jules Breaux of the Diocese of Lafayette, LA, who specifically asked Huval to record a version of the prayer in song. “Music is such a powerful modality of prayer and can assist us in connecting with God on a completely different level,” noted Breaux.
Sing the Rosary was funded completely by donors who believed in the project. Because of this, Huval is able to make Sing the Rosary available free of charge for all who would like to experience the Rosary through song.
Sing the Rosary is a self-published album by Laura Huval, engineered and produced by three-time Grammy-winner Tony Daigle along with contributor and producer Maegan Rankin. The album will be available in CD format, downloadable at LauraHuval.com/rosary, and it will also be released digitally for download wherever music is streamed.
