Sarah Walker with an engrossing musical mix

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

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

Today Sarah starts with a rumba by Florence Price - its title Tropical Noon encouraging thoughts of warmer weather, as does Frederick Delius鈥檚 orchestral reflection on a thousand scented flowers and a thrush singing: In a Summer Garden.

She also discovers a deeply felt homage to Italian opera supremo Bellini in the form of a romantic sextet for piano and strings.

Plus, intriguing and mesmeric sounds from Lou Harrison and Meredith Monk.
