King Arthur may be a figment, but not his mate Merlin whose affair with a fairy (whose existence is also doubtful) sets us on our quest for our Essential Classics playlist @BBCRadio3 . Fill in the gaps in the myth, or just enjoy the music that will fill your morning all from 9.30.

The pool was filled with water out of sunlight, to quote a poet. A gentle still pool surrounded by rushes is where we begin on Essential Classics @BBCRadio3 with music by Joan Trimble. Where will you take the music from there? Join me for a full morning of great music from 9.30.

We're thinking optimistically of a weekend getaway in the Playlister @BBCRadio3 today. It's Percy Whitlock's Spade and Bucket polka from his Holiday Suite. Where next from being beside the sea?
