With more recent versions (2008, 2008R2) of SQL Server you can add multiple rows in an insert statement:

insert into mytable (col1, col2)
  values (1, 2),
         (3, 4),
         (5, 6)

you may insert through select. e.g.

insert into mytable1 (id, name, description)
select 
  id,
  name,
  description
from
  mytable2
where
  condition1=value1
