The Water is Wide (Alto Sax and Piano) by John A. Dempsey Alto Saxophone - Digital Sheet Music
By John A. Dempsey"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 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 duet for alto sax and piano is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as recitals and concerts. As wedding music, this arrangement stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional. This arrangement 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." Concert Key: F major. 8 pages of music (that includes a separate two-page alto sax part)
