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

Today, Sarah shares woodwind-based festivities from Tchaikovsky, and a fantastical fairy tale is brought to life in music by Prokofiev.

There鈥檚 also a seasonal arrangement from the brass ensemble Septura that鈥檚 full of warm harmonies, and a haunting advent carol by Cecilia McDowall.

Plus, music from a composer dubbed the 'Estonian Sibelius'鈥�
