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 evoke misty Scottish landscapes with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic trio for flute, Bb trumpet and piano is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs, other Celtic-themed music events, recitals and concerts. For wedding music, this arrangement is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
This music is also effective as sacred music, as this 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 for "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Suggested worship uses: prelude, postlude, offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music. 11 pages of music (that includes separate two-page parts for flute and trumpet). Concert Key: F major.
