Sheet music

CHOIR: Soprano -- Alto -- Tenor -- Bass -- Vocal Score
HORNS: Soprano Sax -- Trumpet -- Trombone
RHYTHM SECTION: Keyboards -- Guitar -- Bass Guitar

NOTES:
(a) intro used to be 2 bars repeated - it's now 8 bars total. This means measure numbers have changed!
(b) For choir, 3rd chorus is now identical to 1st 12 bars of 1st/2nd chorus, so 3rd chorus is no longer written out separately on the vocal parts.
(c) since string part is now on recorded backing track, I removed it from the keyboard part
(d) I added some articulations to the horn parts.
(e) Trombone part had an extra note (on beat 2 of what is now measure 23) which has now been replaced by a rest
