In this fanfare-esque work, I wanted to capture the essence of "happiness at first sight". What would that sound like? How could I describe such a feeling without words? Blending singable melodies and punctuating harmonies, ...at first sight is a celebration of the magical moments that bring us joy and instant happiness, so I invite you to sit back and remember the good times - past and present.
