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 explores contrasting solo instrumental textures, from intricate passages for bassoon in a concerto by Vivaldi, to the balladic saxophone in Dave Brubeck鈥檚 Softly, William, Softly, and the soft metallic sound of the medieval psaltery played by Andrew Lawrence-King.

She also discovers the characterful combination of vibraphone, flute and clarinet in Of Stars and Birds by Nardi Simpson.

Plus, an uplifting hymn with a tune by Herbert Howells that came to him while he was eating his breakfast鈥
