Mendelssohn's Wedding March from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Op. 61 has been accompanying bridal processions since 1858, when it was played at Princess Victoria's wedding. Its triumphant brass fanfares and stately rhythm made it perfect for ceremonial use.
Mendelssohn's Wedding March originates from his 1842 incidental music for Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
It became a staple of Western wedding ceremonies during the Victorian era.
A contemporary composition in F major, likely designed for ceremonial use. While its structure evokes classic wedding marches, the title hints at a humorous nod to Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier."
