Composed by John A. Dempsey, Traditional Celtic Melody. Arranged by John A. Dempsey. This edition: pdf. Celtic, Easter, Irish, Sacred, Spiritual, Wedding. 16 pages. John A. Dempsey #3582953. Published by John A. Dempsey (A0.525123)."Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I." From a rich, vibrant 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 violin trio is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as recitals and concerts. As wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march and a bridesmaid processional.
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," this music makes an effective prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, and silent prayer accompaniment for traditional church services and other worship events. 12 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page parts for violin 1, violin 2 and violin 3). Key: G major.
