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 a regular listener or you’re joining Sarah for the first time.

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

Today, on the first Sunday in spring, a string quartet plays Scottish folk melodies that ripple with excitement, Clara Schumann’s Konzertsatz in F minor builds tension with angular melodies and conversational orchestral writing, and Errolyn Wallen’s song ‘Peace on Earth’ journeys out of a cold winter towards warmth…

Sarah also finds a psalm setting by Felix Mendelssohn that will have you hooked, and there’s light-hearted Classical charisma in Joseph Bologne’s Symphony in G major.

Plus, the familiar and uplifting melodies of Mozart’s Symphony No.40 get us in the mood for the new season…
