RADIO/WIRELESS THEME MUSIC
I EXPLAINED
Theme music was created to give identity and mood to a particular Radio show or Wireless programme. Easily recognized being repeated before and after each broadcast they quIckly became ingrained into listeners subconsciousnesses.
II RADIO/WIRELESS: THE GOLDEN AGE, AND TODAY
During the Golden Age of Radio/Wireless, great care was given to the orchestration of these pieces. In The United States and to a certain extent The United Kingdom, that era has long passed. In the United States, transcriptions of shows were made by the major networks only to prove that a commercial was transmitted and most often destroyed. Audio tape replaced the fragile transcription discs. Due to financial considerations, they were wiped, reused over and over again. By the 1950's the availability of less expensive home recording devices made it possible for almost anyone to preserve their favorites. Collectors of OTR/W, Old Time Radio/Wireless shared, traded and sold copies that they had made. In our Digital Age, fans of Old Time Radio/Wireless, are able to listen at their leisure, via The Internet reliving those exciting days of yesteryear! Radio 7 and now, Radio 4 Extra rebroadcast programmes from the BBC archives.
Sit back, shut your eyes, open your ears, and listen to see how many of the Themes you remember!
III HISTORY OF CONTEMPORARY UNITED KINGDOM WIRELESS THEMES
THE ARCHERS
'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 familiar opening 7 notes are echoed in the pizzicato in Benjamin Britten's Simple Symphony, written in 1934.
The recording used between 1950 and the 1990s was played by Sidney Torch and his orchestra. Sidney Torch recorded a commercial release of 'Barwick Green' in the 1950s, but it was not used on The Archers itself. wiki
The familiar jingle 'dum di dum di dum di dum..' was relegated into the vaults of history. After several decades, the popular theme tune was refreshed and updated.

DESERT ISLAND DISCS
Desert Island Discs was created by Roy Plomley in 1942. Plomley originally wanted the sounds of 'surf breaking on a shore and the cries of sea birds' to open and close each programme. But Leslie Prowne, the head of popular record programmes at the BBC, was concerned that it lacked definition and insisted that music would also be used. Plomley and the series' producer Frederic Piffard selected 'By the Sleepy Lagoon', composed by Eric Coates (who appeared on the show in 1951). The tune has been used since the first transmission in 1942. The sound of herring gulls has accompanied the music except for a period of time in 1964 when tropical bird sounds were used. The format is simple: a guest is invited by Kirsty Young to choose the eight records they would take with them to a desert island. wiki

THE LATE SHIPPING FORECAST
'Sailing By' is a short piece of light music composed by Ronald Binge in 1963. A slow waltz, the piece uses a repetitive ABABC structure and features a distinctive rising and falling woodwind arpeggio.
'Sailing By' is played every night on BBC Radio 4 at around 00:45hrs before the late Shipping Forecast. Its tune is repetitive, assisting in its role of serving as a signal for sailors tuning in to be able to easily identify the radio station. It also functions as a buffer — depending on when the final programme before closedown finishes, Sailing By (or part of it) is played as a 'filler' as the shipping forecast starts at 00:48hrs precisely. wiki

Stormy future for BBC Radio 4's shipping forecast?
'It has been a British institution for years, but it looks as though the shipping forecast's days may be numbered.
Peter Jefferson, who read the forecast for 40 years, has warned that the famous BBC Radio 4 broadcast may face stormy seas ahead.
Speaking at the Radio Times Festival at Hampton Court, he highlighted the plight of the long-range mast at Droitwich Transmitting Station in Worcestershire, saying: 'It's very old and it's falling over .. its days are numbered, perhaps.'
As FM radio can only reach around 12 miles (19km) from the coast, this would put the shipping forecast - which currently reaches as far as south-east Iceland on long-wave radio - in peril.
The transmitter is old and expensive to maintain and, as radio goes digital, Mr Jefferson warned that the service - dating back to 1911 - may be under threat in the future. . . .' .bt.com

BBC WORLD SERVICE
'Lilliburlero', is generally considered to be the signature tune of BBC World Service. Preceded by the announcement 'This is London', it is played on the BBC World Service before the five-minute World News bulletins. The current version was arranged by David Arnold, who has composed most of the new themes for the World Service, and has been recorded in digital format to replace the previous version, which was in use for over 30 years.
Included here is an audio compilation I created from several sources.
THE BBC RADIO 4 UK THEME
An orchestral arrangement of traditional British airs compiled by Fritz Spiegl and arranged by Manfred Arlan. It was played every morning on BBC Radio 4 between 23 November 1978 and 23 April 2006.
The piece was used as the signature theme to introduce the daily beginning of Radio 4's broadcasting following the early morning handover from the BBC World Service. The theme was immediately followed by the Shipping Forecast. In 2006, the decision by Mark Damazer (Controller of Radio 4 at the time) to drop the Radio 4 UK Theme to make way for a 'pacy news briefing' caused much controversy in the United Kingdom, including extensive discussion in the British media and even in Parliament. wiki

Lilliburlero, the instantly familiar signature tune of the BBC World Service's English-language output, has been dropped. For nearly 70 years it. A special feature on the music Lillibullero, a 17th-century English political song. The song is used by the BBC World Service. The tune can still surprise even though its over 300 years old.
