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 and rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). Â This unabashedly romantic Bb clarinet quartet is perfect for weddings and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event) as well as recitals and concerts. Â As wedding music, The Water is Wide stirs the heart as a prelude, a bridal march, a bridesmaid processional and unity candle accompaniment. Â
     This arrangement is also recommended for traditional church services and other worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, silent prayer accompaniment and special music, 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.  Clarinet Key: G major.  16 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for clarinet 1, clarinet 2, clarinet 3 and clarinet 4).
