who composed here comes the bride
The term Wedding March is used for two very distinct pieces of music. It gets even more confusing because wedding march can refer to any piece of music that is used during the brideâs entrance. The first composition known as The Wedding March is better known as Here Comes the Bride or, more properly, The Bridal Chorus. This piece of music was composed by famous composer Richard Wagner in 1848 for his opera called Lohengrin. The second piece of music known as The Wedding March was composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1842 as a march written for Shakespeareâs A Midsummer Nightâs Dream. Both of these compositions are the most frequently used for the brideâs entrance. These two pieces of music can also be used together.
