Felix Mendelssohn – Wedding March

Felix Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March“ in C major, written in 1842, is one of the best known of the pieces from his suite of incidental music (Op. 61) to Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. It is one of the most frequently used wedding marches, generally being played on a church pipe organ.

This very famous music piece from the Classical era comes in two versions, one without the Organ and one with the Organ. A third version can be considered if the Organ is isolated and it’s performed alone, that is, solo.
