press quotes
Moths
“Hasse possesses a
witty sonic imagination. With audience participation, her 1986 Moths amplifies different pitches and rhythms of many puckered lips making music.
The effect is stunning.”
- The Hartford Courant,
December 1987
Pulling
“a lovely piece for reverbed and echoed flutes”
- Village Voice, NY,
29 May 2001
Next Dance
"A gently syncopated movement of graceful melody that grows to a punchy coda."
www.classicalsource.com, Spring 2001, review of
The White Room CD
"It is hardly surprising that Hasse writes so well for young people having heard her collection of Pocket Pieces for piano recorded on the CD kinkh."
- Women in Music Now, Aug/Sept 2001
