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 Water is Wide," lovingly crafted to evoke misty Scottish landscapes with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic trio for viola, cello and piano is recommended for recitals, concerts, weddings, ceilidhs and other Celtic-themed music events. As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle music, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
As sacred music, this trio is also effective as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music for traditional church services and other worship events, since this 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." 12 pages of music (that includes separate two-page pullout parts for viola and cello). Concert Key: G major
