By Traditional. By Traditional. Arranged by Joan Bujacich. Folk,Multicultural,Praise & Worship,Religious,Traditional,World. Score and part. 5 pages. Joan Bujacich #908419. Published by Joan Bujacich (A0.1319858).This flowing arrangement for SOLO FLUTE and Piano by Joan Bujacich is arranged in the friendly key of C major. The score is professionally notated, easy to read and clean. This song is also referred to as The River Is Wide. The arrangement uses a more modernized harmonic piano accompaniment that enhances the beautiful melody performed throughout by the flute. The piano exchanges some thematic material in the second verse to add interest and musicality. Overall, together the two instruments make for a lovely mature, and satisfying sound. This traditional Scottish song has been done by many great artists and is also used in Church with alternate lyrics. Ms. Bujacich's musical life as a piano and theory teacher, performer, accompanist, vocal coach and composer brings many years of experience to her arrangements.
Note: Pete Seeger made this song famous in the 1960’s. More recent performers include: Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Indigo Girls and James Taylor.
Be sure to check out Ms. Bujacich's publishing page, she has many great arrangements available for all level pianists as well as for Flute and Piano.
