This book contains collective insights from some of the most inspirational high school orchestra directors in the United States. They reveal their ideas on rehearsal philosophy, rehearsal preparation, warm-up strategies, favorite repertoire, tone/bow control, intonation, articulation, expression, online instruction, recruiting and building community. Each of their stories is as unique as the individual strategies and approaches they share. You will surely be inspired by their ideas, approaches, and strategies presented in Rehearsing the High School Orchestra. I know the most joy in my life has come from my violin. (Albert Einstein) —Gail Barnes, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill) —David Eccles, The Lovett School, Atlanta, Georgia I want every student who comes through my door to enjoy and see the value of music. —Creston Herron, Klein High School, Klein, Texas Without music, life would be a mistake. (Friedrich Nietzsche) —Cathie Hudnall, Norcross High School, Norcross, Georgia To make a resolution and act accordingly is to live with hope. There may be difficulties and hardships, but not disappointment or despair if you follow the path steadily. Do not rest in your efforts, without stopping, without haste, carefully taking a step at a time forward will surely get you there. (Shinichi Suzuki) —Scott Laird, North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, Durham, North Carolina Orchestra class teaches so much more than how to play a stringed instrument. We learn valuable life skills in ‘O.R.C.H.E.S.T.R.A� �€™â€”Opportunit y, Responsibility, Concentration, Honesty, Effort, Self-Discipline, Trust, Respect, and Attitude. —Charles Laux, Alpharetta High School, Alpharetta, Georgia I teach excellence and the commitment it takes to be excellent. Music is the discipline that I use to teach this. While music is a beautiful artform, the subject matter is never more important than the subject itself. —Kirt Mosier, Youth Symphony of Kansas City, Kansas City, Missouri You are the music while the music lasts. (T. S. Eliot) —Kirk Moss, University of Northwestern—St. Paul, Roseville, Minnesota The job of teaching is less about feeding information to students, and more about making them hungry. —Christopher Selby, School of the Arts, Charleston, South Carolina High achievement always takes place within the framework of high expectations. (Charles Kettering) —Laura Mulligan Thomas, Charlottesville High School, Charlottesville, Virginia.

Resig nation was composed in memory of one of Ed Kiefer's best friends. Evoking the struggle of coming to grips with the loss of a dear friend, the piece is based on the hymn, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. It is dramatic, heartfelt, and overwhelmingly beautiful. As Hans Christian Andersen once said, When words fail, music speaks..

Neither could I write a piece that could come close to reflecting his kind spirit, wit, personality or talent. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to write anything at all. My own grief and the stages of my grief kept getting in the way. I ended up with a setting of the hymn-tune, Resignation. Resigned.  To the fact that he is no longer with us. I know he is in a better place, but we are not. We miss him very much. And so, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need seems to speak to those of us he left behind. I apologize if this piece does not reflect your special feelings for him or help you celebrate his moving on. Unfortunately, I could only put down what I have come to accept and hope in some way it may speak to any of you that knew him or to others of you who have also lost a close friend. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. That is my hope and my hope for you.Although technically very easy, this composition requires a maturity of musicianship to be performed properly. The Bb contrabass clarinet part is integral to the composition, but there are cues in the tuba part if you need them.  Make sure you bring horns to the fore at m. 53 and the low brass at m. 59 so the melody can be heard without effort. Exaggerate dynamics to bring more emotion to the piece. Be careful not to diminuendo too soon near the end or it will be difficult to diminish even further at the very end, where the lone clarinetist holds over a couple of measures, fading into nothing. I hope your students will enjoy this piece and take from it a greater appreciation for the way making music can express feelings.

The piece traces key events in the life of Haakon the Good, later to become King Haakon I (ca. 921-960), who had been fostered by King Athelstan of England as part of a peace agreement made by his father (The Future King). The English king brought him up in the Christian religion and, on the news of his father's death, provided him with ships and men for an expedition against his half-brother Eirik Bloodaxe, who had been proclaimed king of Norway. On his arrival he travelled north (The Journey to Trondheim), where he began to gain the support of the landowners by promising to give up the rights of taxation his father had previously claimed. Elrik's sons allied themselves with the Danes, but were invariably defeated by Haakon, who was successful in everything he undertook except in his attempt to introduce Christianity to the country (The Missionary King), which aroused an opposition he did not feel strong enough to face. One of his most famous victories was The Battle of Rastarkalv (near Frei) in 955. By placing ten standards far apart along a low ridge (to give the impression his army was bigger than it actually was), he managed to fool Eirik's sons that they were outnumbered (the ten standards are represented by ten loud chords that begin in m. 420). The Danes fled and were slaughtered by Haakon's army.

Morning Star takes inspiration from the brilliant sunrises along the coast of North Carolina. As night fades and the sun begins to peak over the sand dunes, both nature and townspeople come alive as their day begins. The use of repeated syncopation patterns in this march are a great reinforcement tool that teachers will love using and students will love playing!
