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

At this time of year when many of us appreciate the beauty of trees, today鈥檚 selections include a blown-away leaf depicted by Janacek and a piece written to mark the one-year anniversary of the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree.

Sarah also shares a whimsical prelude from Respighi, an early masterpiece by Byrd, and a movement from a piano concerto by Beethoven with a surprisingly improvisatory feel.

Plus, a mysterious, calm lake shimmers as the stars sparkle overhead鈥�
