Description:
The Water Is Wide is a traditional Scottish song. The lyrics of this love song were composed, in part, around 1600. Cecil Sharp published the song in 1906, and many versions have appeared since then. Benjamin Britten made an arrangement of it, and it has been sung by James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, and The Seekers. Claire Pelletier, one of Québec’s finest voices, offered her own version under the title Trop loin l’Irlande.
Here is my version for quartet, in the form of a theme and variations.
