The Watermill is a piece of music that was published by Ronald Binge in 1958.[1] Elements from it had been used in the score of the British comedy film Our Girl Friday, released in 1953, and it was 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]
