Water Is Wide, The (Recorder)

From Plank Road Publishing

arr. Paul Jennings

(Low D, E, F#, G, A, B, C, D. OPT. PT. 2 Low D, E, G, A, B, C.)

This song has a long and wandering history that dates back as far as 1600. In our recorder arrangement, we have chosen a folk-style setting with a string orchestration behind it. Your students can warm up with the long, slow notes and strive for longer phrases and plenty of expression in this beautiful ballad. (from Recorder Classroom, Vol. 1, No. 4)
