The Water Is Wide (also known as O Waly, Waly) is an old folk song of Scottish or Celtic origin and like other folk songs exists in many variants. The lyrics partly date back to the 1600s but the song remains ever-popular today. This attractive arrangement is intended for intermediate players although the cellist will need to be comfortable in the tenor range of the instrument. The top note is B flat 4 but it occurs only once and there is an optional to play the phrase an octave lower. The arrangement is intended for student or professional recitals, end-of-semester concerts or it would make a popular encore number for a cello recital. The imagery of the lyrics describes the challenges of love and has been reflected in this arrangement. The folk song is the same one that the British composer Benjamin Britten arranged for voice and piano. This arrangement for cello and piano is certain to be popular with audiences.
