Wedding march sheet music

Wedding march sheet music for ceremony planning, gathered here from titles that name a bridal chorus or a wedding march. The selection includes Felix Mendelssohn's Wedding March from A Midsummer Night's Dream Op.61 in a piano version, Richard Wagner's 'Treulich Geführt' (Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin) with soprano, alto, tenor, bass and piano parts, and a quartet listed as Wedding March Quartet. The titles do not say whether a piece is intended as a processional or recessional, so compare the score, key, time signature and instrumentation before choosing.

Mendelssohn and Wagner: two different works

Felix Mendelssohn's Wedding March is identified in one listing as coming from A Midsummer Night's Dream Op.61, and that score is for piano. Richard Wagner's 'Treulich Geführt' is titled as the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin; its listed parts are soprano, alto, tenor, bass and piano. The two titles represent different repertoire, so compare the work name and instrumentation rather than treating every 'wedding march' title as the same piece.

Compare instrumentation before choosing

The Mendelssohn piano entry lists a single piano part. The Wagner entry lists four voice parts plus piano. The Wedding March Quartet entry lists two tenor saxophones, B-flat trumpet and trombone. These part lists describe individual scores and should be checked against the notation; they are not proof of a work's original instrumentation.

Processional or recessional?

Titles in this collection name a bridal chorus or a wedding march, but they do not label a piece as processional or recessional. The opening key, time signature, tempo and part layout can help you compare versions, but the score itself is the place to judge whether a setting suits the moment. This collection is not a complete wedding music plan; pieces whose titles do not use those terms may be absent.

Check a title against its work

The entry titled Wedding March Quartet gives March in D major Op.108 as its work title, so it should not be assumed to be Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream march without checking. One listing also uses the composer spelling 'FelixMendelssohn-Bartholdy'. Verify the work, key and parts on the score before selecting a version.
