Sarah Walker with an inviting musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, including works by Monteverdi, Peggy Glanville-Hicks, Prokofiev and Fasch.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Sarah looks back to ancient times with a 14th-century ‘estampie’, and a setting of an old hymn by the 17th-century composer Monteverdi. She also enjoys the unique syncopated sound world of the composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks, and revels in the nostalgic atmosphere of Prokofiev’s ‘Tales of an Old Grandmother’.

There are also three very different dances - one from Sweden, one from the Highlands of Scotland played on a medieval harp and a Spanish Arabesque.

Plus, horn player Alec Frank-Gemmill shows the versatility of his instrument in a piece by Johann Friedrich Fasch.
