My excursion through the archives has unearthed a number of

previously unreleased pieces, some from films that may have

deserved better attention, and others from films that did quite well

at the box office. Beside those scores that now see the light of day

for the first time, I have also included a number of old favourites,

some of which I hope will benefit through new arrangements.

Whether composed for 3D Imax, TV, cinema or the concert hall, this

collection of music shares a common thread, in that it all aspires to

qualities of tenderness and love.

Your purchase of this album is a contribution toward the Smugglers

of Light Foundation, a partnership between our family and APRA, established in memory of Eli and focussed on the empowerment of storytelling through film and music in youth and Indigenous communities.

On behalf of the Foundation, I thank you for your support and I

hope you derive as much joy from this collection as I have had in

writing and assembling it.
