Find comfort in music for fragile days

Emeli Sandé explores music to soothe the soul and provide comfort on fragile days. The genre-spanning selection includes Schubert, The Cinematic Orchestra and Gabriels.

Emeli Sandé explores the music that brings her strength and inspiration, from classical, to pop, and beyond.

This week's selection will soothe the soul and provide comfort on fragile days, with music from Schubert, Martha Wainwright and Gabriels.

Emeli shares an insight into the composition of Clown, a song she wrote at the very beginning of her career, when she felt like an underdog, and which she hopes can inspire others to follow their dreams.

And in this, and every episode, Emeli invites listeners to join her in Composure Moment. This week, put everything on pause for The Cinematic Orchestra, featuring the harpist Mary Lattimore.
