Roderick Williams with an enticing musical mix

Roderick Williams sits in for Sarah Walker and chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, including Villa-Lobos, Tippett and Muhly.

Baritone Roderick Williams sits in for Sarah Walker and chooses three hours of uplifting music to complement your morning.

Roderick finds laid-back guitar rhythms in a Villa-Lobos prelude, ethereal soundscapes in Thomas Newman’s score for the film Meet Joe Black and champions a movement from Michael Tippett's Concerto for Double String Orchestra.

Plus, festive organ music and a nativity hymn by Nico Muhly.
