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 trio for Bb trumpet, horn in F and piano is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as concerts and recitals. As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march and a bridesmaid processional.
Because this melody has been used in multiple hymn arrangements 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 effective as sacred music for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music. Concert Key: F major. 12 pages of music (that includes separate two-page parts for trumpet and horn)
