Composed by John A. Dempsey, Traditional Celtic Melody. Arranged by John A. Dempsey. This edition: pdf. Celtic, Easter, Irish, Sacred, Spiritual, Wedding. 15 pages. John A. Dempsey #3121325. Published by John A. Dempsey (A0.523089)."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 with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic string trio is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (and other Celtic-themed music events) as well as recitals and concerts. For weddings, this music is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
Because 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," this music is also effective for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, special music or silent prayer accompaniment. Key: D major. 11 pages of music (that includes separate two-page parts for each stringed instrument).
