About this arrangement

Cello,Flute,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.724895 Composed by Traditional Scottish Melody. Arranged by John A. Dempsey. Celtic,Easter,Irish,Spiritual,Traditional,Wedding. 19 pages. John A. Dempsey #333215. Published by John A. Dempsey (A0.724895). "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 quartet for flute, two violins and cello is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs, other Celtic-themed music events, 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. As SACRED MUSIC, "The Water is Wide" is effective as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music for traditional church services and other worship events: 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."   15 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for flute, violin 1, violin 2 and cello).  Key: G major.
