Sarah Walker with a restorative musical mix
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re resting with a cup of tea or going for a run.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, there’s a calming setting of Psalm 121 by Penelope Thwaites, a divertissement by Duruflé that will draw you in with its beguiling melodies, and an anonymous piece from the 13th century with mysterious, meandering harmonic lines.
Sarah also finds warmth and hope in music by Dvorak, and violinist Fenella Humphreys plays a piece by Errollyn Wallen that highlights her unique approach to her instrument.
Plus, piano music by Marianna Martines that’s as bright as a clear sky on a late summer’s day…
