More about this title
About the Arranger: Robert Longfield
Robert Longfield has established himself as a trusted arranger for school orchestras, with a gift for making contemporary music accessible to young players without sacrificing energy or musical integrity. His arrangements consistently earn selection in festivals and concert programs because they balance entertainment value with genuine pedagogical purpose.
Why we love this
Longfield captures the infectious momentum of these three songs while respecting the level of a Grade 3-4 orchestra. The orchestration sits comfortably across the full instrumentation without requiring unusual doublings or soloists, making it an ideal selection for directors building ensemble cohesion around material that genuinely excites students.
What to expect
The arrangement channels the optimism and youthful energy of the original songs while maintaining clarity through its orchestration. You get the soaring melodic moments alongside driving rhythmic sections that keep the ensemble engaged from opening to close.
Who it's for
High school orchestras at the intermediate level looking for concert repertoire that resonates with student musicians and audiences alike. Programs seeking approachable full orchestra arrangements of contemporary material will find this both musically rewarding and straightforward to teach.
How to get the most out of it
- Layer in the dynamic markings gradually during rehearsals; the arrangement's effectiveness depends on crisp contrast between sections rather than uniform fortissimo playing.
- Balance the melodic material between violins and upper woodwinds. Longfield wrote these lines to share focus, so avoid letting either section dominate.
- Establish a steady pulse in "Breaking Free" before moving to the faster sections; the tempo relationships between movements matter more than rushing for intensity.
- Encourage the lower strings to sing through their countermelody lines in "We're All in This Together;" these parts anchor the harmonic foundation and deserve presence.
How to use it
This works equally well as a concert opener designed to connect with your audience immediately or as a finale that leaves the hall energized. Consider pairing it with a contrasting classical or contemporary selection to showcase your orchestra's range within a single program.
