Bluebird by Alexis Ffrench
Bluebird is a piece by the British pianist and composer Alexis Ffrench, released as a single on Sony Music on 22 September 2017 and premiered with a video that month. Ffrench has said he wanted to write something with a certain immediacy that spoke to people, because his main aim is always to communicate with people. He describes the music as filled with a variety of influences, from Debussy and Satie, and as an expression of love and hope that was born out of improvisation. That fits his background: he began improvising at the age of four and went on to scholarships at the Purcell School and the Royal Academy of Music. The 2017 recording was made with an orchestra, and the mix engineer was John Bailey, who has worked with Coldplay, John Legend and Paloma Faith. Bluebird is track 4 of Evolution, Ffrench's album released in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2018. The Japanese edition followed on 24 October 2018 with bonus tracks. In Japan the track was an insert song in a feature film released on 16 November 2018, based on a novel by Keigo Higashino and directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi, for which Ffrench also wrote the score. The 2017 single is an orchestral recording. A separate release, Bluebird (Solo Piano Version), exists as its own recording, and Musicnotes publishes a piano solo of that version in five pages in B-flat major, marked tenderly.
