Sailing By
"Sailing By" is a short piece of light music composed by Ronald Binge in 1963, which is used before the late Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4. A slow waltz, the piece uses a repetitive ABABC structure and features a distinctive rising and falling woodwind arpeggio. ==Context and usage== "Sailing By" is played every night on BBC Radio 4 at around 00:45hrs before the late Shipping Forecast. Its tune is repetitive, assisting in its role of serving as a signal for sailors tuning in to be able to easily identify the radio station. It also functions as a buffer — depending on when the final programme before closedown finishes, ''Sailing By'' (or part of it) is played as a "filler" as the shipping forecast starts at 00:48hrs precisely. The initial reason for its introduction was because of the indeterminate finish time for the preceding Midnight News, leading to filling music being played until the Shipping Forecast was due to start. ''Sailing By'' was added to allow for a clear break between the end of the music and the start of the forecast. In the 1990s the tune was also adopted for the weekly maritime programme ''Seascapes'' on Ireland's RTÉ Radio 1. ''Sailing By'' is also played in full at the beginning of each weekly broadcast of The Shipping Forecast (approximately 23:30 on Sunday evenings) on Brooklands Radio, an internet-based local radio station, based in Weybridge, Surrey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brooklands Radio - Meet The Team )〕
