Barwick Green "The Archers" theme music BBC Radio 4

"Barwick Green" is the theme music to the long-running BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers. A "maypole dance" from the suite My Native Heath written in 1924 by the Yorkshire composer Arthur Wood

it is 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.[2]Sidney Torch recorded a commercial version of "Barwick Green" in the 1950s, but it was not used on The Archers itself.

Arthur Henry Wood (24 January 1875 – 18 January 1953) was an English composer and conductor,

Wood was a prolific composer of works in a variety of categories, although he was self-taught in composition and orchestration. His first published work, the orchestral work Three Old Dances, was first published in 1902.

He became a staff composer for Boosey & Hawkes, for whom he wrote many orchestral suites and single works, many related to his upbringing. These include Three Dale Dances, the Yorkshire Moors Suite, A Lancashire Clog Dance and My Native Heath, from which his most famous piece "Barwick Green" came. Other orchestral works include his Concertino in A major, Widow Malone, An Oriental Scene and Fairy Dreams.

He also composed for a number of stage musicals, such as Yvonne,Petticoat Fair, and Fancy Fair, the latter two dating from about 1918.

Apart from "Barwick Green", his works are now rarely performed.

It is arranged here for standard wind quintet.
