She conducted the orchestra over 2 sessions in one day and later recorded her singing in her own studio, where the album was also mixed. Unlike on '13 songs' where Julie played lots of instruments, on ‘pages', all of the music was played by the orchestra which included trumpets, french horns, trombone, vibraphone, clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon, violins, violas, cellos, double bass, glockenspiel, sticks and more. She spent a considerable amount of time working at the Artists' Retreat in Annaghmakerrig in County Monaghan working solely on all of the words for the work.
