Sarah Walker with a sparkling musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, including works by Ibert, Schubert, Glazunov and Avison inspired by other composers.

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

Sarah opens the programme with a regal rigaudon for organ and brass quintet and goes on to share several pieces involving composers borrowing from other composers. Jacques Ibert and Franz Schubert pay tribute to Mozart, Glazunov reconstructs Borodin’s Overture to Prince Igor, and Charles Avison creates a concerto based on one of Domenico Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas.

Sarah also plays some pieces from further afield, including traditional music from Mali and a piece which evokes the island of Bali.

Plus a medieval song for six-holed pipe, a dancing motet by JS Bach, and a depiction of a wintery wood.
