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 woodwind quartet for flute, oboe, Bb clarinet and bassoon is recommended for recitals, concerts, weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event). As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, bridal march, bridesmaid processional and/or unity candle accompaniment.
Also recommended as sacred music for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music; the melody has been used for multiple hymn settings, including "The Gift of Love," "Though I May Speak of Bravest Fire" and as an alternate melody for "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." 16 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page parts for each instrument). Concert Key: F major
