Product Description

The Water Is Wide (also known as O Waly, Waly) is an old folk song of Scottish origin and like so many other folk songs exists in many variants. The lyrics partly date back to the 1600s but the song remains ever-popular today. This attractive arrangement is intended for intermediate players although in purely technical terms, the cello part is rather more demanding than the violin part. The arrangement is intended for student or professional recitals, end-of-semester concerts or would make a popular encore number for a string trio concert. The imagery of the lyrics describes the challenges of love and has been reflected in the soaring cello part of this arrangement. The folk song is the same one that the British composer Benjamin Britten arranged for voice and piano. This new arrangement for string trio is certain to be popular with audiences.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
