Magnificat: The Vortex That Sang

Host Michael Gungor introduces his new album Magnificat and a short podcast series that explores each song, blending music-making with a spiritual invitation to "spirit remembering itself."

The episode recounts a powerful experience at a songwriter retreat in the Garden of the Gods where Hope hears a voice she identifies as Mary singing in 432 Hz, a moment that becomes a recurring, transformative texture on the record; themes include the divine feminine, transmutation of suffering, and the album’s other characters—forest and mystic.

Listeners are invited to listen meditatively as each episode dives into a song’s story, meaning, and sonic choices that shaped the album.
