FWIW, in the UK, early morning, around 00:45, Radio 4 always play an old recording of ‘Sailing By’ as an introduction to the Shipping Forecast. Some call it the Radio 4 theme. I’ve come to appreciate the recording, especially when I’m still awake.

So, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a modern recording of ‘Sailing By’ via Tidal - arranged by Carl Davis and performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, from the album ‘Last Night of the Proms’.

It doesn’t have the same rustic charm of the much older Radio 4 recording, but it’s pleasant listening to whenever I choose at any time of the day.
