Taken as a whole, the music of The Book Of The Heart displays seemingly opposing characte-ristics of my musical self.  But this is only an appearance.  For me, form and freedom, melody and abstraction, are parts of a continuum.  To be able to move back and forth between the apparently contradictory qualities in music – to do so creatively, sensitively, freely, deliberately – to be 'master of the option' is my long-term goals as a musician and a composer.
— Glen Hall
