The Water is Wide (Trio for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax and Piano) by John A. Dempsey Small Ensemble - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.522672

"Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I." From a vibrant, rich Celtic tradition comes the classic 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 trio for alto sax, tenor sax and piano is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as recitals and concerts. As wedding music, this music is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional. 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 for "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," this arrangement is effective for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music. 9 pages of music (that includes separate parts for alto sax and tenor sax). Concert Key: F major.
