Composed by Richard Wagner. Arranged by David McKeown. Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards,Wedding. 3 pages. David McKeown #4359355. Published by David McKeown (A0.587562).The Bridal March was written by Richard Wagner in 1850, scored for orchestra and chorus, and opening the third act of his opera, Lohingren. It is best known in the English-speaking world as "Here Comes the Bride". Queen Victoria’s daughter used the music for her marriage in 1858, and its popularity has endured ever since. This version is arranged as a duet for two Violins.
