RAINBOW BRIDGE  
– Anne McGinty.
Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge,
where pets go after they die to await the joyous reunion with their
devoted human companions. The music expresses emotions when words
are difficult to speak as it reflects upon the journey across the
bridge, the antics and fun shared with our pets, and a final farewell.
It is the composer's hope that students of all ages will be able
to musically say good-bye and share their pet's safe journey across
the bridge. [ca. 3:45]
