and varied career.


Debbie Wiseman has over two hundred credits for her music,
ranging from television and film, to the concert hall and music
for royal pageantry. Not only is she a multi-award winning
composer, but also a teacher, pianist and conductor, often
performing in and recording her own works. This week, Donald
Macleod visits Debbie Wiseman at her home in London to discuss
her long and varied career. We hear about the film composer's
craft of evoking different worlds in music, Debbie’s belief in
versatility and lifelong learning, the challenges of composing
for royal events, and her life outside the studio.
