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 evoked misty Scottish landscapes and rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic string trio for two violins and cello is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event), recitals and concerts. As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
Since this tune has been used in multiple hymn settings, notably "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 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. Key: D major. 11 pages of music (that includes separate two-page pullout parts for each stringed instrument)
