A classical selection for Sunday

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e on your way to the park or planning a gentle day in the garden.

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

Today, Sarah selects a Danzi wind quintet full of light-hearted elegance, and an overture marking Weber鈥檚 earliest ventures into opera.

She also shares a tranquil motet by Robert Parsons, and a piece from Meredith Monk that imitates the rhythmic drive of a railroad track.

Plus, a graceful Czerny piano concertino, dexterously performed by Rosemary Tuck.
