Soul Music Mixtapes

Cerys Matthews shares a specially curated mixtape of her favourite stories from across the 25 series of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's Soul Music, the programme about the music that moves us.

Cerys Matthews delves into the archives to present a specially curated mixtape of her favourite stories from across 25 series of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's Soul Music.

Each episode of Soul Music takes a different piece of music – it might be a pop song, or a hymn, or a piece of classical music or world music – and looks at why it moves us and what it means to different people.

Cerys's choices include:

* Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, Mozart's Requiem in D Minor
* Bob Marley's Redemption Song, Puccini's La Boheme
* Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna Come.

Producer: Mair Bosworth

Made for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in January 2018.
