A Little Book of Hours is Deane's deepest exploration of the relevance of Christianity to our times. His music praises the beauty of wholeness in the world and mourns what is broken. Beginning with the simplicities of island life, the book turns to the politics of greed. King David, psalmist and warmonger, stands at the centre of the book, in passages that look at humanity's destructiveness and creativity. Taking its cue from the Psalms, the book concludes with journeys in search of truth and meaning, and a meditation on guilt and innocence.
