"Notice and Appreciate the Small Joys in Life" These were the words my principal shared with me when I graduated from middle school. re-Encounter is a piece themed around finding happiness in life’s small moments. Whether it’s with things, people, or music, there’s something magical about an unexpected encounter that captivates the heart. And if that serendipity happens twice, the joy multiplies twofold, threefold, and beyond. I hope you enjoy the gentle yet powerful groove that unfolds throughout the piece.
