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 trio for two cellos and piano is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as recitals and concerts. For wedding music, this arrangement is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
As this melody has been used in multiple hymn settings, such as "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 or silent prayer accompaniment. Key: G major. 9 pages of music (that includes separate one-page parts for cello 1 and cello 2)
