Cerys Matthews delves into the archives to put together 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 and Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna Come.
Producer: Mair Bosworth.
