Your interpretations of Debbie Wiseman’s Together

Back in May, Debbie wrote a work especially for Classic FM listeners as we all went into lockdown. Together (hear in the video above) is a work dedicated to anyone in self-isolation in the company of a piano – or any other instrument or object that can make a sound – with both ‘starter’ and ‘advanced’ parts.

“With so many of us at home, I wanted to write something to inspire Classic FM listeners, and my new piece Together was written for everyone who may be at home or self-isolating and feels inspired to get involved,” Debbie said at the time she composed the piece. “The idea is for this new piece to be interpreted in as many different ways as possible.”

Since then, scores of people have downloaded and performed the piece in numerous combinations of instruments and group sizes.
