Wedding march

It is the music played during the wedding, usually played when the groom and bride enter and leave.

Wedding marches commonly used in Western weddings include the "Wedding Cantata" from Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrin" and Felix Mendelssohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" "Wedding March". There are only two well-known "Wedding Marches", works by Mendelssohn and Wagner. Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" is the soundtrack to Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The music begins with a loud trumpet sound, then enters a solemn procession music, followed by a more relaxed and lively march, which is repeated twice and then blends with the elegant sound of woodwind instruments and gradually fades away. When the newcomers enter, only the beginning part is played, the tune is solemn, majestic and high-spirited. It is often used in church weddings as the entry song for the bride and groom.
