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 of rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic sax trio for soprano sax, alto sax and tenor sax is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs, other Celtic-themed music events as well as concerts and recitals. For wedding music, this arrangement is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
As this melody has also 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 effective for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, special music or silent prayer accompaniment. Concert Key: F major. 11 pages of music (that includes the score and two-page parts for each sax)
