The Watermill

The Watermill is a piece of music which was written by Ronald Binge in 1958.[1] The piece was also used in the British comedy film "Our Girl Friday" released in 1958, occasionally with Hawaiian guitar added, and later used as the theme music for a BBC television adaptation of The Secret Garden.[2]

"The Watermill" was originally written for the oboe and a string orchestra but may be played on other instruments such as the clarinet.[3] It has placed high in polls of the British public, such as those organised for the programme, Your Hundred Best Tunes.[4]
