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 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 trio for flute, violin and guitar is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as recitals and concerts. As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march and a bridesmaid processional.
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," this trio is also recommended for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music. Key: D major. 12 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page parts for each instrument)
