I used to hear this theme music nearly every morning I was an avid radio 4 listener. It brings back some happy memories. I love your images they show the beauty of the British isles which seam very appropriate on the day we’re leaving the EU . Thanks so much for this Jayne Anne. John X .
Jayne music apart, wish that I had a book containing each and every one of you superb images. Your choice and blend of subject matter is just remarkable. 🏞️🌌
Nice description in the notes, this was used 1978-2006 for 28 years, the original was 05:03 long, this arrangement was very good, never worked out why the re recording wasn’t identical.
@@feline1104 The transfer to other media would not have been possible at the time, a re score was later commissioned by the the BBC, possible with another Orchestra, the bbc recording was never published.
this is odd and I am in my seventies but I distinctly remember something like this in the early sixties while I was in bed and my mum switched the radio on in the kitchen below to clean and tidy before going to work in thefactory..so what was played then?
In the days when ITV came on air at 0925, all the ITV regions had their own start-up music like Radio 4 did, such as Sea Songs (Anglia) and Southern Rhapsody (Southern) for example.
Sadly not the original version. It sounds diferent and is 5:26 long. Original was exactly 5 mins and recorded by BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra is I remember correctly. This is I think the more recent versionrecorded for a CD release - but was never actually broadcast.
Middle classes decide that showing hatred for British history absolves them from taking any action in the modern world, such as adjusting world trade to a more equitable system which assists the third world. Of course, they will not do so, that would affect THEIR standard of living; instead, they insist upon making stupid gestures such as banning this music.

What a lovely comment Geoff. I do try to achieve this, it is reassuring to know that on occasions I might succeed. Jayne Anne x

Thank you Jack, I suppose for commercial reasons. Much appreciate your comment. Best Wishes. Jayne Anne.

5:03 Long
I’m from the US and not familiar with Brit radio but I did enjoy this piece!
It could use a better title now that it has ended it’s previous life.
The piece would be rejuvenated Bruce and get wider appeal I think. Thank you so much for the comment. Jayne Anne

From a better time in broadcasting, before the nonsense that is called ' woke ' .
