String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.524267 Composed by Traditional Scottish Melody. Arranged by John A. Dempsey. Celtic,Easter,Irish,Spiritual,Traditional,Wedding. 19 pages. John A. Dempsey #5199969. Published by John A. Dempsey (A0.524267). Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I. Â 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). Â This unabashedly romantic quartet for three violins and cello is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs, other Celtic-themed music events, recitals and concerts. Â As WEDDING MUSIC, The Water is Wide stirs the heart as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional. As SACRED MUSIC, The Water is Wide is effective as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music for traditional church services and other worship events: 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. Â 15 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for violin 1, violin 2, violin 3 and cello). Â Key: G major.
