Wolf Hall: The Composer’s Story

Debbie Wiseman (pictured here with director Peter Kosminsky and Damian Lewis who plays Henry VIII) has composed the music for the new series of Wolf Hall, currently on BBC 1.

She takes us through the creative process of enhancing the drama with music – creating themes for characters, reflecting the moods of the court, signalling tensions and inner turmoil. We are with her from early experimental days at home to conducting world class musicians in a full studio .

Produced by Victoria Ferran

Broadcast: 24th November 2024 on BBC Radio 3
