Classical music to inspire you

Half an hour of back-to-back classical music, including works by Karl Jenkins, Elena Kats-Chernin, Buxtehude and Poulenc.

Enjoy a half-hour sequence of classical music beginning with a catchy setting of "Dona Nobis Pacem" by Karl Jenkins, fluttering piano in "Butterflying" by Elena Kats-Chernin, Grieg's ever-popular "Morning Mood", and a seductive instrumental arrangement of Manual de Falla's popular Spanish song "Nana". Ethereal choral music by Kerensa Briggs sits alongside Emma Kirkby singing Buxtehude, and the transcendent beauty of Poulenc's piano concerto.

Producer: Helen Garrison
