RAINBOW BRIDGE Audio Clip Score Clip
– 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.

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]
