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

SKU: A0.522738

"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 evoked misty landscapes and rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic trio for flute, violin and piano is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs, other Celtic-themed music events as well as concerts and recitals. For weddings, this arrangement stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle music, a bridal march and a bridesmaid processional. "The Water is Wide" also makes a touching prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music for traditional church services and other worship events, 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." Key: G major. 9 pages (that includes separate one-page parts for flute and violin).
