Composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad with music from Boccherini to Blur

Composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad lines up a freewheeling playlist full of energy, soulful melodies and adventurous sounds. Cheryl includes a track by Dave Brubeck that she spent hours transcribing as a young child, looks to James Macmillan as an example of how to write for percussion and is left devastated by the emotional power of Mozart鈥檚 Requiem.

Cheryl also challenges you to identify a mysterious instrument...

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
