During the Bright Little Worlds sessions in January, I recorded 3 holiday tunes that I’ve arranged in various Brazilian styles over the past few years, and they’re now officially released!
🌟 We Three Kings as a baião (after a very reflective intro)
🌟 Brazilian Nutcracker Medley, including:
🌰 Overture (baião)
🌰 March of the Toy Soldiers (maxixe)
🌰 Waltz of the Flowers (samba)
🌟 Rest Ye Merry People (I may have altered the title a bit 🤓) as a samba
“Alegria do Natal” means “Christmas Joy” in Portuguese, and that’s what I’m wishing for you!
New holiday music
New album out May 31, 2024!
Featuring a fun variety of solo piano pieces in a variety of styles (Brazilian, jazz, waltz, impressionistic, fun, quirky), arranged in a hero’s journey-style narrative trajectory.
Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered the album during the Kickstarter - I can’t wait to share this music with you soon!
“With its many musical styles, Bright Little Worlds demonstrates Hass' versatility as a composer as well as her very expressive playing style…[it’s] an excellent second album sure to brighten your own little world!”
