My favourite... British string music. We'll hear a mixture of favourites including Elgar's Serenade for Strings and the Fantasia on Greensleeves by Vaughan Williams, along with lesser-known works by Charles Avison and Frederick Delius.

Take part in our daily musical challenge: identify a piece of music played backwards.

Sarah's special guest, especially for the week of 麻豆约拍 Music Day, is the musician, composer and broadcaster Guy Garvey. He's the front man of rock band Elbow, who have released six studio albums, won the Mercury Music Prize, headlined at Glastonbury and performed a specially written song for the closing of the 2012 Olympics in London. Guy also released a solo album last year, which reached the top three of the album charts. He's won Ivor Novello Awards for songwriting and presents his own programme 'The Finest Hour' on 麻豆约拍 6 Music. Every day at 10am Guy will be choosing a selection of his favourite classical music including pieces by Puccini, Fran莽aix and Mendelssohn.

10.30am
Music in Time: Renaissance
Sarah examines Renaissance composer Palestrina's Missa Assumpta est Maria, in which strict rules of melodic writing combine with a restricted use of intervals, to create music that was felt at the time to be 'perfect' enough for worship.

11am
In the week of 麻豆约拍 Music Day, a UK-wide celebration of everything we love about music, Sarah features choral societies from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales including the Huddersfield Choral Society, the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, Belfast Philharmonic Society Chorus and the Treorchy Male Voice Choir.
