Product Description
"Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I." This traditional Celtic music, arranged here as a piano solo, is lovingly crafted to evoke misty landscapes and rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). Recommended for weddings, recitals, ceilidhs, Scottish weekend festivals, concerts and recitals. Also makes a moving prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude and silent prayer accompaniment for traditional church services and other worship events.
As an instructional piece, it teaches grace notes, scale passages, reading notes an octave higher, and sixteenth notes in both hands simultaneously. For weddings, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle music, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional. This piano solo also stirs the heart as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude or special music for traditional church services and other worship events, as 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 to "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Key: D major. 4 pages of music
