^^^ Pardon, that was me. ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The old recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNEawM6vZf4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barwick_Green "Barwick Green" is the theme music to the long-running BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers. It is a "maypole dance" from the suite My Native Heath, written in 1924 by the Yorkshire composer Arthur Wood, and named after Barwick-in-Elmet in Yorkshire's West Riding. The recording used between 1950 and the 1990s was played by Sidney Torch and his orchestra.[citation needed] Sidney Torch recorded a commercial release of "Barwick Green" in the 1950s, but it was not used on The Archers itself. The familiar opening 7 notes are echoed in the pizzicato in Benjamin Britten's Simple Symphony, written in 1934.
