Ian McMillan with a stirring musical mix

Ian McMillan holds off making an Advent calendar with his grandchildren until he鈥檚 chosen three hours of attractive and uplifting music to delight you.

Writer and broadcaster Ian McMillan has Advent calendar making and the taste of Christmas cake in mind as he sits in for Sarah Walker and chooses three hours of uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today Ian opens the show with a fanfare, contemplates a strenuous life as depicted by Scott Joplin, and celebrates the sound of the euphonium in a piece by Liz Lane played by the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band.

He also celebrates the pre-Christmas period with one of JS Bach鈥檚 most recognisable melodies and speculates on how the 11-year-old Mozart learned the craft of writing piano concertos.
