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

In a special edition of Sunday Morning, Sarah Walker marks the summer solstice by celebrating depictions of light in music. We鈥檒l hear a work inspired by the endless refractions of an infinity mirror, music from a Thomas Arne cantata which reveres the early morning sunshine, and catch the glimmers of daylight that shine through a famous maritime opera.

Eric Whitacre also conjures a choral work that shimmers and glows, while Sibelius offers a tone poem inspired by a morning sleigh ride from Helsinki to Kerava.
