Product Description
"Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row - my love and I." From a rich, vibrant 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 duet for viola and piano is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event), concerts and recitals. As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
Because this melody ("O Waly Waly") has been used in multiple hymn settings, including "The Gift of Love," "Though I May Speak of Bravest Fire," and as an alternate melody for "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," this music is effective for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, special music and silent prayer accompaniment. 7 pages of music (that includes a separate two-page pullout viola part). Key: G major
