Nearly all musical exercises--presented throughout the text in concert pitch and transposed in the appendices for E-flat, B-flat, and bass clef instruments--are accompanied by backing audio tracks, available for download via the Routledge catalog page along with supplemental instructor resources such as a sample syllabus, PDFs of common transpositions, and tutorials for gear set-ups.

Known internationally for his work as a teacher of conducting, Gustav Meier's influence in the field cannot be overstated. In The Score, the Orchestra and the Conductor, Meier demystifies the conductor's craft with explanations and illustrations of what the conductor must know to attain podium success. He provides useful information from the rudimentary to the sophisticated, and offers specific and readily applicable advice for technical and musical matters essential to the conductor's first rehearsal with the orchestra. This book details many topics that otherwise are unavailable to the aspiring and established conductor, including the use of the common denominator, the "The ZIG-ZAG method", a multiple, cross-indexed glossary of orchestral instruments in four languages, an illustrated description of string harmonics, and a comprehensive listing of voice categories, their overlaps, dynamic ranges and repertory. The Score, the Orchestra and the Conductor is an indispensable addition to the library of every conductor and conducting student.

Scroll below for a video of the score as played in Finale. This arrangement for trombone choir and percussion (approximately 5:30 playing time) requires the Grade 3 technical skills, range, and maturity of high school or college-level trombonists. The range extends to a high Bb in the 1st part, a high C in the soli 3rd part. The work begins with the traditional opening thematic statements in Eb. Then there is a transition section in E major, concluding with the traditional rousing, full-sounding, climatic ending in Eb major. This volume contains a full score and individual parts for each trombone, timpani, cymbals (susp. & crash), and chimes. A part is included for optional T.C. Baritone (doubles Trb. 6).
