Documentary

Leonard Cohen

The Fourth, The Fifth, The Minor Fall

Saturday 1 November

1900 - 2000

 

Guy Garvey, front man of Mercury Award winners Elbow, examines the Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah by talking to the artists who have covered it.

Marking 25 years since Hallelujah was first recorded, Guy explains why the track has been analysed by both academics and theologists and looks at how the song has graced anything from teen dramas to Hollywood blockbusters.

Contributors to the programme will include Kathryn Williams, Andy Wallace and Imogen Heap.
