Description
National anthem for the micronation of Rheinbergen (the length of the river Rhine).
Words originally by the crown prince of Rheinbergen Gerard Conielje and tweaked by the composer.

Very grand and rousing music.
The pdf file contains score and parts and I have also added an optional baritone saxophone part which can stand in place of the vocal line.
The words are:
Die Quelle von Rheinbergen
Liegt in den Alpen hoch
Der Prinz von Fluß und Wellen
Stammt aus dem Delta-Schoß
Das Licht auf uns'ren Wässern
leuchtet hell und klar
So strahlen uns're Augen
aus Herzens Stolz fürwahr.
Lass den Gesang dem Fluss zulieb in allen Ländern wehen
Zusammen sind wir wie der Strom dem keine widerstehen.
=== ​
Translation into English:
The source of Rheinbergen Lies high up in the alps
The Prince of river and waves
Stems from the lap of the Delta.
The lights on our waters shine bright and clear
Like our eyes shine from Our proud hearts.
Let songs of love for our river wave over all nations
Together we are like a stream ​That none can resist.
