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

Today Sarah shares some surprising festive finds including a rustic nativity depicted by Giovanni Sammartini, a sea shanty describing the icy temperatures and homesickness of a December spent at sea, and a carol from the Orthodox Church that鈥檚 full of spectacular bell effects.

Sarah also discovers a variety of piano textures created by Grieg, Liszt and Mendelssohn, and finds room for a little nostalgia with Ella Fitzgerald - exploring the secret of Christmas in a sentimental song from 1959...
