Composer Debbie Wiseman is one of the UK’s most successful female music ambassadors. Throughout the past 20 years, there are probably very few people in the UK who have not heard a theme from one of Debbie’s many film or television productions. Honoured in the Queen’s New Years Honour List with an MBE for services to the music and film industry, she has been awarded honorary fellowships at both the music colleges where she studied, Trinity College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. “Jubilee Gigue” was commissioned to be performed on the Georgian barge as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant. Inspired by the “Gigue” in Handel’s original Water Music, the work has a rollicking, upbeat feel and is now newly arranged for brass band by Chris Houlding.
Percussion: 3 players, playing timpani, tom-toms, side drum, congas and bongos
