    Welcome to "Open Your Hymnal," a new podcast from Zack Stachowski and Matt Reichert.

    The repertoire of music used at liturgy is vast and ever-growing. Even so, each of us has our favorites. Maybe it's a song that captures a particular image, or a song that brings back a special memory like a wedding or a funeral.

    In this podcast, we examine the most beloved, enduring, and consequential songs we sing at liturgy. We break open each song through conversation with composers, text writers, and other artists. We look into the scriptural sources of the text, the song writing process, and more.

    Join us for our first full episode on May 2 where we will explore the song "On Eagle's Wings" with composer Fr. Michael Joncas.
