Sarah Walker with a glorious musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re cosying up with a coffee or heading into the sunshine for Easter Day.

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

Sarah brings another inspiring collection of music to transport you away from the everyday, including a Venezuelan dance brought to life in an exciting orchestral arrangement, a dramatically driving symphony by Johann Baptist Vanhal, and music by Dvorak that's immersed in the natural world.

She also musically marks Easter Sunday with a reflective track for wind instruments subtitled ‘Maundy Thursday at Midnight’, and Ivan Moody’s ‘Words of the Angel’ sung by Trio Mediaeval, which pictures Mary standing outside Christ's empty tomb. And Percy Grainger and JS Bach combine forces in Blithe Bells.

Plus, two songs that celebrate April, one from Tudor England and another by Paul Simon…
