A wedding march is a piece of music played during a wedding, usually during the entrance of the bride (processional) or the departure of the married couple at the end (recessional).
Famous wedding marches The traditional processional at Western weddings is the Bridal Chorus from Richard Wagner's Lohengrin, while a traditional recessional is the Wedding March from Felix Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream. While their musical works are often paired, the composers themselves were enemies; Mendelssohn, a Jewish composer, was a target of Wagner's anti-Semitic essay "Das Judenthum in der Musik". | ||||||||
