Sarah Walker with a vibrant musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re gardening or catching up on some chores around the house.

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

There’s musical drama today with a moving Concerto Grosso by Handel, a Shakespearean dance from Prokofiev, and Richard Strauss’s Don Juan.

Sarah also finds searing melodic lines sung by Emily D’Angelo in an arrangement of Hildegard of Bingen’s O frondens virga, while a Capriccio by Cecile Chaminade experiments with meandering harmonies.

Plus, orchestral music that depicts a mysterious white peacock…
