Sarah Walker with a far-reaching musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re on your way to visit family or taking your dog for a walk.

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

Today, Sarah plays an overture by Wagner which is full of dramatic brass fanfares and stormy strings, finds serenity and warm harmonies in Stanford’s setting of Psalm 23 ‘The Lord is my Shepherd’, and Leokadiya Kashperova’s ‘The Murmur of the Wheat’ creates the feeling of a breeze drifting across a field.

Plus, an infectious Irish jig: The Luck Penny…
