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 memorable 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 duet for violin and piano is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs, other Celtic-themed music events as well as concerts and recitals. For weddings, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march and a bridesmaid processional.
As 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 music is also effective for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, special. music and silent prayer accompaniment. Key: G major. 7 pages of music (that includes a separate one-page violin part)
