All Thus Stand Light was commissioned by the Worshipful Company of Musicians in 2007, and is Hart's only work for solo guitar. The first movement is marked by great energy, rhythmic precision, and lyricism; the second offers a striking contrast, creating a distinctive atmosphere through its melancholy, clarity, and economy of musical ideas, while the third begins with intropective moments, followed by Hart’s characteristic creative turbulence shaped by his extensive work in commercial music and defined by directness and immediacy. This movement is driven by a continuous accelerando and renewed references to the brass sonorities of a big band, culminating in an electrifying conclusion marked by high levels of energy and technical virtuosity.
