More about this title

About the Composer: Soon Hee Newbold

Soon Hee Newbold

Soon Hee Newbold began her musical training at five on piano, adding violin at seven, and eventually performed as a concert artist across professional ensembles worldwide. Her compositional voice draws from the cultural and ethnic traditions she has encountered through decades of travel and collaboration on stages ranging from Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy Center to concert halls across the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, and China.

As both a composer and conductor, Newbold has built a catalog performed by everyone from professional symphonies to elementary beginning ensembles. Her work extends beyond the concert hall into film and recording projects in Hollywood, and she is regularly invited as a guest clinician and keynote speaker at major music education conferences and festivals.

Why we love this

Newbold writes at Grade 1 with genuine melodic substance rather than oversimplification. The bold, majestic themes and lyrical passages give young string players music worth learning, while the emotional content of the piece makes it engaging for audiences regardless of the ensemble's experience level. A concert opener or closer that lands.

What to expect

The piece radiates warmth and purpose. Beneath the bold, majestic surface runs a current of genuine feeling that makes the students' playing feel important and meaningful. You hear conviction in the harmonies.

Who it's for

Beginning string orchestras looking for repertoire with emotional weight and concert impact. Directors seeking Grade 1 material that respects the intelligence of young players while remaining technically accessible.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the soaring melody against the rhythmic bass line by rehearsing these voices separately before combining them. Young players often get lost when tracking the harmony underneath a prominent tune.
  • Bring out the intertwining harmonies by having students listen actively to each other during tutti passages. Mark these moments in the score and ask players what voices they hear besides their own.
  • Shape the lyrical sections with a gentle, supported bow stroke. Majestic doesn't mean forced; let the melody sing naturally on the string.

How to use it

This works beautifully as a concert opener that sets a respectful, inspirational tone for the program. The Grade 1 level makes it achievable even for younger or newer students, yet the orchestration and emotional content hold the attention of mixed-age audiences.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing melody and accompaniment voices
  • Sustaining tone over longer phrases
  • Listening to and blending harmonic voices
  • Responding to lyrical versus majestic character in the same movement
