Notes from Daniel Romberger about this arrangement:
Kass's Theme is one of the very few "tunes" in the Breath of the Wild soundtrack, which is otherwise very contemplative and atmospheric. As a result, it's a very standout piece which makes you excited to see the big blue bird every time you come across him!

Although most of the Horns of Hyrule arrangements leverage the strength and power of this massive 16-piece ensemble, my arrangement for Kass's Theme is more like a lighthearted showpiece for a chamber ensemble that constantly changes as people rotate in and out. Every musician has their individual chance to shine, and everyone played their hearts out.

In particular, Alex, Abby (GoofyEuph), and Danny Flam have very virtuosic solos. Alex's rumbling tuba solo took inspiration from the end of Thomas's arrangement of Spirit of Hospitality, Abby's euphonium solo is an extended cadenza that makes full use of her stamina bar, and Danny Flam horn solo is a thinly veiled reference to The Carnival of Venice, one of the most infamous and most virtuosic pieces there is!

Thanks for watching! If you like what you hear, please follow our collaborators' channels -- everyone worked super hard to make this amazing project come together -- and look forward to more Horns of Hyrule!
