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 haunting 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 guitar, cello and piano is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as recitals and concerts. For weddings, this arrangement stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle music, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional. "The Water is Wide" also makes a touching prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment or special music for traditional church services and other worship events, as 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." Key: F major. 9 pages (that includes separate one-page pullout parts for guitar and cello)
