Since my teenage years the music of French composer Michel Legrand has been a source of joy and inspiration. When I heard of his death in January 2019 I went straight to the piano and found this melody waiting beneath my fingertips.

It is a gentle tribute to a musical hero suggestive of a French ballad of the 1960s, the era when I discovered Legrand's music. Also available in a version for harp ensemble or harp quartet.
