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

Today Sarah celebrates the start of May with a familiar serenade to the month from the King鈥檚 Singers, and Esperanza Spalding performs a bossa nova that鈥檚 perfect for the season.

There鈥檚 also a glittering symphony by Luigi Boccherini that will transport you to a polished ballroom floor, and there鈥檚 delicacy and passion in Richard Strauss鈥檚 String Quartet in A major.

Plus, Gregorio Allegri鈥檚 Miserere lifts us skywards鈥
