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 tune "The Water is Wide," reimagined here as a trio for flute, alto sax and piano. This unabashedly romantic trio for flute, alto sax and piano is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as 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.
This arrangement also makes a touching prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and 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 to "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Concert Key: F major. 9 pages of music (that includes separate one-page parts for flute and alto sax)
