Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Wedding March: Easy Piano: Instrumental Work

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) fut considéré comme le plus grand enfant prodige après Mozart. Il nous a légué des chefs-d?œuvre dans presque toutes les formes musicales. La Marche nuptiale extraite de la musique de scène du Songe d?une nuit d?été (1842) demeure sans doute l?une des plus célèbres pages de Mendelssohn. Son orchestration d?apparat et sa joyeuse solennité justifient son « tour du monde ».

A wedding without a famous wedding march - unimaginable! Wagner's 'Bridal Chorus' from 'Lohengrin' and Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March' from the incidental music of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' vie for the favour of bridal couples and wedding parties. If, however, the music shall be festive, Mendelssohn's background music for the wedding ceremony remains first choice. In order that the march cannot only be performed with the organ but also with a melodic instrument with piano (or organ) accompaniment, the present editions provide easy-to-play arrangements. / Saxophone Et Piano

Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream incidental music to the play by Shakespeare is best known for the famous Wedding March though the work contains an array of beautiful music. The instrumental movements are frequently performed as an Orchestral suite or as stand-alone pieces.The Overture was composed when Mendelssohn was just seventeen years old written as a concert overture. Then when King Frederick William IV of Prussia commissioned the adult Mendelssohn to create incidental music for the whole of the play in 1842 Mendelssohn incorporated the Overture and its themes repeatedly throughout the work. Mendelssohn particularly loved Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’sDream having read it with his sister from childhood. His incidental music for the play ranks among the best of its genre skillfully generating the spirit of each of the characters establishing ambiences for the various scenes and complementing Shakespeare’s own drama.
