Ricky plays live gospel music and is joined by Karine Polwart, Stuart Cosgrove, Andrea Baker, Steve Stockman and John Bell, plus Chris Judge and members of the Soul Nation choir.

To mark five days of special music programmes on Radio Scotland to celebrate BBC Music Day, Sunday Morning With Ricky Ross celebrates some of the roots of sacred music, with some very special people. It's a journey from the spiritual and gospel traditions, through the power and emotions of protest songs.

Ricky will be joined by a world-renowned mezzo soprano Andrea Baker; poet, author and minister Steve Stockman; Scotland's very own music-maestro John Bell of the Wild Goose Worship Group; Church of Scotland minister Ian Gilmour; broadcaster and author of "Detroit 67" Stuart Cosgrove; church musician Martin Ritchie, and renowned singer-songwriter Karine Polwart.

Together they'll explore how music captures and expresses what words alone can't quite say, and why music is such an important part of religious expression.

All this and the gospel group Soul Nation Choir playing live throughout the programme.
