Barnacle Bill by H Ashworth-Hope is an instantly recognised melody for generations of people in the UK. It has been used as the signature tune to Blue Peter, the longest-running children's TV show in the world. The original recording of the theme by Sidney Torch and the New Century Orchestra was used until 1979 when it was replaced by an arrangement by Mike Oldfield of 'Tubular Bells' fame. Since then there have been several versions.

This lively arrangement for Wind Quintet features the upper woodwind sharing the main melody between them. The lower parts have their moment with the second theme before the recapitulation of the tune.

Also available is an arrangement for Clarinet, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Euphonium and Keyboard (strings).

Score and parts for both versions are available from Sheet Music Direct.

Composed by Jim Parker. Arranged by Trevor Wharton. 20th Century,Classical,Film/TV,March. 21 pages. Bumpmusic Editions #1026058. Published by Bumpmusic Editions (A0.1446236).

Ground Force was a British garden makeover television series originally broadcast by the BBC between 1997 and 2005.

The  upbeat opening and closing theme was composed by Jim Parker and performed by the Black Dyke Band. The theme reflects the busy activity involved in the projects. Over the main themes there are often short musical interjections at faster pace possibly denoting a burst of activity somewhere in the garden.

This arrangement for Wind Quintet requires a precisness of articulation and an awareness of musical balance between the parts. Although fairly quick there should be an underlying clamness to the piece. A great 'foot tapper' for your programme!
