More about this title

About the Composer: Soon Hee Newbold

Soon Hee Newbold draws on a lifetime of cross-cultural musical experience to craft works that speak to ensembles at every level. Beginning her musical training at five on piano and violin at seven, she has performed as a concert artist across the globe and built a compositional voice that reflects the diverse influences she's encountered through travel and collaboration in countries from the Netherlands to China, Singapore to Australia.

Today Newbold's scores appear on stages ranging from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to school auditoriums and community venues, performed by groups from professional symphonies down to elementary ensembles just beginning their musical lives. Her work as a guest clinician, keynote speaker, and Hollywood film composer keeps her connected to how music functions in real contexts, which shows clearly in her writing for developing musicians.

Why we love this

Newbold writes for beginning strings with genuine respect for what the players can accomplish. The bold, majestic themes give students something substantial to sink their teeth into, while the interweaving harmonies and lyrical melody keep them engaged without requiring technical facility they haven't yet developed. This score strikes the rare balance of being both achievable and genuinely moving to perform.

What to expect

Stately and stirring. Honor and Glory opens with a sense of dignity and builds through layered harmonies that feel both accessible and emotionally substantial. The interplay between the soaring melody and the driving rhythmic foundation creates momentum that carries listeners through a work that leaves an impression.

Who it's for

Beginning string orchestras looking for repertoire with expressive weight. Grade one players are ready for music that asks them to think about phrasing and character, and this piece delivers both without overwhelming them technically.

How to get the most out of it

Shape the opening themes with clear dynamic contours. Even at grade one, students respond when you ask them to shape phrases rather than play straight through. Let the bold material feel strong and confident.
Bring out the rhythmic bass line as an anchor. It's easy for beginning players to get lost in their part; when the bass section locks in, it stabilizes everything above it and lets the melody soar more effectively.
Balance the lyrical melody against the harmonic support. The melody isn't always in the violins, so watch your voicing and make sure the leading voice emerges naturally from the texture rather than sounding thin.

How to use it

Place this as a centerpiece in a concert exploring themes of service and community. Its inspirational character works equally well as a concert opener that sets a reflective tone or as a closing piece that sends audiences out thinking. Pair it with lighter or more technical pieces to create variety in your program.
