The Water is Wide (Trio for Flute, Guitar and Piano) by John A. Dempsey Small Ensemble - 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 "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 flute, guitar and piano is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as recitals and concerts. For wedding music, "The Water is Wide" stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional. Since this melody has been used in multiple hymn settings, this trio is also effective as sacred music for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, special music and silent prayer accompaniment. Hymn settings include "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. 11 pages of music (that includes separate two-page parts for flute and guitar)
