Episode 5: An overture from Marvin Gaye

This week's overture is from Marvin Gaye, enjoy some pottery thanks to your auditory cortex and there's music from Bjork, Billie Holiday and Bobby Womack.

Musician and composer Hannah Peel once again delves into her vast record collection to play music which features an orchestra or ensemble - big or small. This week, the likes of REM, Billie Holiday and Bjork are played alongside less familiar acts such as Caroline Shaw and Douglas Dare. There's also surprises from Siouxsie and the Bashees and Bobby Womack, some classic disco courtesy of Chic and Northern Ireland's very own Alana Henderson. Hannnah's one rule for this show is - as long as there's strings, brass, woodwind (or all of the above) - it belongs on this - the perfect Sunday afternoon playlist!
