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 memorable tune "The Water is Wide," lovingly crafted to evoke misty Scottish landscapes with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather).  This unabashedly romantic duet for cello and piano is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as concerts and recitals.  For wedding music, "The Water is Wide" is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.  
          As this melody ("O Waly Waly") 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," this music touches the heart as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude and silent prayer accompaniment for traditional church services and other worship events.  7 pages of music (that includes a separate two-page pullout cello part).  Key: G major
