Sarah Walker with a rousing musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you're relaxing at home or taking your dog for a walk.

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

Sarah starts the morning with a piece for piano marked ‘alert’ to jump start the day, and winds down with a gentle version of Scarborough Fair.

She also finds powerful orchestral writing and glittering solo passages in Emilie Mayer’s Piano Concerto, and we hear the story of Mary Mack in a song performed with wit and grace by Scottish folk singer Claire Hastings.

Plus, a magnificat by Palestrina brings an ancient text to life with heavenly harmonies…
