Product Description
"Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I." From a rich, vibrant Celtic tradition comes the classic "The Water is Wide," lovingly crafted to evoked misty Scottish landscapes with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic brass trio for Bb trumpet, trombone and tuba is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as concerts and recitals. As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, a bridal march, a bridesmaid processional and unity candle accompaniment.
For traditional church services and other worship events, this trio is effective as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music; the melody has been used in multiple hymn settings including "The Gift of Love," "Though I May Speak with Bravest Fire," and as an alternate melody for "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." 11 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for each brass instrument). Concert Key: Bb major
