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 evoke misty Scottish landscapes with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic brass trio for Bb trumpet, French horn and trombone is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event), recitals and concerts. As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, a bridal march, a bridesmaid processional or unity candle accompaniment.
For traditional church services and other worship events, this music is also recommended 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." Concert Key: Bb major. 11 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page parts for each brass instrument)
