Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e busy tackling chores or having some down time after a busy week.

Today鈥檚 Choral Reflection comes from the Choir of Merton College, Oxford and their conductor Benjamin Nicholas 鈥 John Tavener鈥檚 beautifully tender 鈥淢other of God, Here I Stand鈥, taken from his epic 8-hour-long 鈥淭he Veil of the Temple鈥.

There鈥檚 also a chance to hear Mozart鈥檚 Piano Concerto No. 9 "Jeunehomme" in full, from a hot-off-the-press, brand new recording by Canadian star pianist Jack Lisiecki, with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and Manfred Honeck.

Also, Sarah鈥檚 Sunday Sequence will weave together - among other things - candle-making, the River Thames and a reluctant nun鈥 tune in to find out how!
