We come to the river for to drink from the stream.

We climb up the mountainside to reach for a dream.



We come to the forest for to blaze new trails

Reaching oceans, we unfurl sails.



And for our food and our raiment we will lightly care,

For learning and knowledge is our fare.



And every page which we study, every word we write

Leads closer to the truth and the right.



May each question be answered. May our vision be clear.

May we serve with conviction that our God's ever near.



May He ever sustain us as we follow His beam

Let us drink from the river and dream.

We'll mine every theory with the zeal of our youth,
Expose every error and reveal every truth.

The joy of discovery will feed our souls
As we master our heartfelt goals.

So many friends and companions met along our way
Will reach out in friendship, ne'er to stray.

And then ascending together, every day we'll find
A soul refreshed in heart and in mind.

May each question be answered. May our vision be clear.
May we serve with conviction that our God's ever near.

May He ever sustain us as we follow His beam
Let us drink from the river and dream.

This band version was for a Burlesque show I MD'd and arranged for. It runs exactly against Cher's vocals in the film. You get a complete score and full parts. Enjoy!

Sergei Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op. 3, No. 2 is one of the composer's most famous compositions and is also known as The Bells of Moscow since the introduction seems to reproduce the Kremlin's most solemn carillon chimes. (Wikipedia).

This fantastic arrangement in C minor (the original is in C#) by Kevin Dombrowski for 8-part Trombone Ensemble certainly retains the immense gravity and solemnity of the piano version if not more, with the rich and dramatic sounds of the trombones.

The 4-minute arrangement is appropriate for advanced performers.

Beethoven's great chamber music is second to none, however, there are very few instances where the Trombone as an instrument can fit into the style of the music. With the Scherzo from String Quartet, Op. 18, No. 4, arranger Kevin Dombrowski has found the perfect fit. A quartet of trombonists at the advanced level will love performing this wonderful five minutes of music.

Sorrow for the sins of the world,
For the wickedness of the whole human race,
Who have polluted Thy wondrous creation
Of this once paradisiacal place.
Sorrow for my own sins committed,
Of word, of deed, or of thought,
When in pride, anger, or ignorance,
Thy ways were not faithfully sought.
Sorrow for the pain that I added
To the anguish suffered by Thy Own Son,
Whose blood like sweat oozed from His pores
As payment for every sin I have done.
May this sorrow lead to my repentance,
To remorse of conscience, reconciliation with man,
As I turn unto Thee with renewal of faith
Seeking forgiveness, a wholeness again.
