Sarah Walker with a sparkling musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses one-and-a-half hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you're taking it easy with a cup of tea, or going to see friends.

Sarah Walker chooses one and a half hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today, in this shorter edition of Sunday Morning, Sarah packs in music from across the globe: there’s a lush French gavotte from Mexican composer Manuel Ponce, music brimming with personality from German composer Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, and Swedish composer Jan Sandstrőm’s piece Sång till Lotta allows the bass trombone to show off its colourful sonorities.

There's also spine-tingling choral music by Felice Anerio, and a song with words attributed to Anne Boleyn foreshadows her fate with a repeated falling melody.

Plus, music by Holst transports us to the Cotswolds…
