The Water Is Wide

This beloved folk song takes on new life in the hands of an expert Nashville arranger. A stylish piano introduction sets the mood, then the melody, first stated in unison, is soon joined by counter-melodies. Three-part harmony moves the song to another level as the music builds to a dramatic climax, finally returning to the pensive sounds of the beginning. Artistic meets sensible in this arrangement, and the result a delight to sing.
