Wagner's Bridal Chorus (Pipe Organ Solo)

[AllyFamous4eva69]

I'm getting married in 4 months!!! Yay!! Cant wait to meet my love at the end of the aisle while walking down to this :)

[trynshutmeup]

I enjoy the melody in this :) but for my own wedding I would prefer the Canon in D major by Pachelbel ;)

[Marcel3540]

why im watching this?

cant wait for my wedding! lol

[currybern]

omg ... beautiful... this makes me wanna marry immediately!!;);)

[mbdcjhp]

Have people checked out Journey's/Jonathan Cain's version? OMG so beautiful. Can't get enough of it!!! Just type in Journey or Jonathan Cain and here comes the bride or bridal march.

[FireTiger941]

give me the chills so great

[therealtotallysister]

aweosme i love this

[therealtotallysister]

cool

[sageofdragons12]

Never understood why people get married. Isn't the word to be by eachother's side good enough? Still, pretty music. Smily face.

[diapason93]

Good registration choices for this piece. A nice, grand pace too. Absolutely perfect.

[KeemyBroski]

AHAHAH WHY DOES THIS EVEN HAVE DISLIKES? 17 ppl got divorced

[TheEsperanza243]

My Romeo, my future husband, is flirting with me so bad. (And we live so far away from each other.) He just said: *hits the repeat button in his head for Richard Wagner's "Bridal Chorus"* Listening to this now is making me super excited and so so SO wish I were with him right now.

[shortybabii1]

Where can I get this version. I'm getting married on Sunday.

[elsamontemayor76]

listening to this makes me want to get married lol

[Snicklefritz1979]

This is a very intense and powerful version of the Wedding March.

I much prefer Wagner's to Mendelssohn's.

[Goldenrod636]

What was the song at 0:45?

[i4future]

@Goldenrod636 its all the same song, The part you are referring to is actually in the piece. It is one of my favorite parts of the song. your fingers do some crazy stuff on piano during it.

[MrBlankete]

Wow this is wat i ws looking for...thank you!

[domanic199520]

WOW THIS IS AMAZING

[JosephStalin11]

Wonderful music

[SolidFrostbite]

:333 i am very very excited to be getting married. <3

[MrVideowatcher5]

This goes great for my future wedding on 2016  “SCORE¡" ;D

[Bored339649]

@MrVideowatcher5 uhh you dont want that for your wedding lol whats supposed to happen is a tragic event in the bridal ceremony. thats what this piece is meant as, in wagners play something tragic happens I dont remember but someone dies I think its the bride though Im not sure.

[LENIN990]

@MrVideowatcher5 congratulations !

[carmeldion]

Hi there, how do we get a copy of this for our wedding? look forward to hearing from you

[mbdcjhp]

@carmeldion don't know if you had your wedding yet, but you can download this onto an mp3 (if youtube still does that here?). 

[83joonior]

This is the most depressing song for any man.

[xxxXGuNzXxxx]

@83joonior lol

[888HeRa888]

@83joonior for every insecure man:P

[Mirani2]

@83joonior But many men are happy to get married. Stupid asshole.

[playmovingpictures]

Regal :) it's my pick, the prince.

[Mirani2]

Wagner is amazing!

[mozartsmusicblog]

I always thought that this was written by Mendelssohn...but he wrote the other famous wedding piece. I find it interesting though, how much this melody compares to "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" (melody by Mendelssohn) especially at the beginning.

[lalehetehad1]

to my cousin Kamran and Faraz for their wedding on Saturday May 7th

[SCDHSGrad2010]

Most classic song ever!

[MrChrisdon]

 Beautiful simply Beautiful.. Just sad that when i heard it it was with someone from another planet... and hope that if God gives me another chance that it will be as Beautiful as this tune.

[Oboe2167]

@MrChrisdon What do you mean, by another planet

[MrChrisdon]

@Oboe2167 .........Sorry for being unclear lol,But my Marriage was like being Married to someone from Outer space..she turned out to be a right Bunnie Boiler from the planet Zog or something lol.

[SportaJuli]

I can picture a bride walking down her soulmate to this song as I listen to it

[Lineallly]

Mendelssohn owns Wagner on that one.

[stickitupyapipe]

@Lineallly

LOL. No one own´s Wagner you retarded imbecile, least of all Mendelssohn. What Wagner forgot about music composition, Mendelssohn still had to learn.

[Lineallly]

@stickitupyapipe Rofl, mama never told you there's no accounting for taste ? Prick.

[josparkes1]

Love it, so beautiful, and really well played too !

[Stormcat1]

This version always sounds like the bride is being forced into marriage. I prefer Mendelssohn's wedding march. So much happier, as if the couple actually know and like each other!

[doobeedoo58]

@Stormcat1 actually in the opera Lohengrin by Wagner (where this piece is from) Elsa is being forced into marriage to save her throne from Ortrud and Fredrick who are plotting against Elsa by driving her crazy so they could get the throne. Elsa is being accused of her brother's disappearance, who is the rightful ruler. In the end Elsa dies. After most brides to be hear the story, they change their mind about this piece.

[dreabaya1]

the real meaning behind this song..mass murder and chaos

[1206fan]

2017 here i come i can't wate

[tatumvitamsd]

Do you think to marry here you go **rockmycity.info**

[HK271184]

My friend just asked me to play this on guitar at is wedding. I am shitting BRICKS.

[small6444]

I can't wait to walk down the aisle to this.so traditional and romantic. x

[TypesALot]

I had this at my wedding 6 years ago and it was perfect!! I recently went to a wedding where the bride had this other song played and I don't know the name, but she had so many bridesmaids they kept having to play the same 4 chords over and over again!! People were giggling.

[SnickleFritz79]

My goodness... this sounds very powerful played on the pipe organ. Only the fags in Europe would go over the top by having this played at a wedding over there.

[Sparkz1607]

@SnickleFritz79 Hey don't insult other countries. :U

I TRY to tell people not to do this, because it ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS leads to flame wars, but they don't listen... Usually it's America vs. Canada but still.

[evcsgirl811]

i cant wait till i get married <3 but i still have yet to find the one lol or i say he hasnt found me yet ^_^

[vixiepoo]

One week tomorrow 'til I'm walking down the aisle to this.. ONE WEEK TOMORROW!!

[mbdcjhp]

@vixiepoo Woo-hoo! Congrats! :)

[vixiepoo]

I'm getting married in August, and this makes me even more excited!

[highheadjester]

@vixiepoo Im guessing you're the bride? ;) Congrats btw yall still goin good?

[mbdcjhp]

@vixiepoo I would listen/watch this exact thing on youtube (and downloaded it) the whole year before I got married! It IS so exciting! Congrats.

[cleggyej]

I Really like this for my wedding and am on a very tight budget and cannot afford to have the organist at £195 Does anybody know where i can buy this on cd or even download it FREE

[stealth1692]

@cleggyej youtube downloader google it

[cleggyej]

Does anybody know where i can buy this on cd or even download it FREE

[Griffinboy100]

This song by Wagner played on the organ is simply very romantic....I guess nothing will do for a wedding when the bride comes down the isle...

[Raed103]

WOW! This is the best version I ever heard !! Thank you for posting this ! ^____^

[cutiepie1995lol]

brrrr just got chills

[1mangaguy]

I wished they played this at my sister's wedding. Hopefully that my future wife and I could have this played in our cermony.

[red12512]

my wedding's in aug. in a large church with great sound. we've got canon in d as a prelude, trumpet voluntary for the bridal procession, and then the wagner bridal chorus for me. believe it or not if it's all done correctly with other good music (well performed, of course) the bridal march on the pipe organ sounds great.

[Jmaster848]

this song is bullshit

[dave4248]

At a wedding, why does.....

the bride wear white white?

Answer....She's getting married

Why does the groom wear black?

Answer....He's getting married

LOL, just a joke people

[red12512]

@dave4248 that's too funny. i've gotta tell people that joke if you don't mind...:)

[Fevrure]

this was actually composed for the play " a midsummer dream" by Shakespear where the woman marries the donkey... ahahha

[bunyung]

I think you might be mixed up with Mendelssohn's Wedding March which is really from the Midsummer Night's Dream. This one is from Wagner's original Music-drama "Lohengrin".

[vennabanana]

@Fevrure aaaand it wasn't a woman who married a donkey it was the queen of all faries. :)

[psavari]

НЕ МОЯ

[thecrowcompany]

muito bom

[DarkShadows193]

I didn'tk now he composed this. I guess piano does that too you ^^

[OberleutnantFalke]

Yeah, there's tons of stuff people hear all the time today and don't even think about where it came from... Like this or Ride of the Valkyries or Flight of the Bumblebee.

[Cosmo2476]

I wanna go down the aisle to a bluesy version of this hahahahaha!

[red12512]

I bet you could find a bluesy version somewhere! :)

[red12512]

Yippee! I can't wait for my wedding, we're using it...

[lemonlorry]

@red12512

how startlingly original.

[red12512]

yes i'm sure my guests will be yawning as i walk down the aisle. i'll tell them to bring coffee.

[DJINE589]

et bella et edward se sont avancés devant l'autel sur cette marche bnuptiale pour ce marier... jai hate de voir le quatre de twilight mais bon it doesn't sound very good...

[PolaristheCepheid]

this song sounds better on the organ :D

[M3town3]

It doesn't sound very good here!

[sclbuterfly2591]

i love this...it announces the bride so well..like wow...look at her! can't wait to hear it next year!

[mizzmoomoo22]

ich nasha umpun

[sachiokoyin]

I love wagner, but its hard for me to think of this as music, I've heard it so much as a steriotypical wedding march ("here comes the bride etc) its hard for me to see Loingrin! When I did see the opera, it was as if the swan night broke into rounds of "happy birthday to you" or something like that.

[kurwayork]

not much to brag about when u read the life of siegfied and winifred wagner and the hitler!

[aidavdbrake]

richard himself was a racist too (didn't want jews in his orchestra), but i still think it's FBS to judge music by its maker's political views. music and art in general stand above politics. and btw i wouldn't want to know bach or mozart or vivaldi's ideas on women at the organ or black people as priests or as head of state, so let's just let the music be the music. please!

[ElisabettaVS]

@aidavdbrake Thanks! You're so right!

[aidavdbrake]

@ElisabettaVS yw and thanks for your support, elisabetta! :)

[ElisabettaVS]

@aidavdbrake No need to thank me, what you say is right! :)

[Mullahgrrl]

@aidavdbrake I don't know what FBS stands for but I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment.

[redsmooch989]

@aidavdbrake yes, thats true. Socrates believed that females were imperfect males, but that doesn't mean everything else he taught us was shit. No one is perfect

[aidacat]

@redsmooch989

Actually, Aristoteles believed that women were imperfect males. On the contrary, Socrates believed that women were as capable as men, respected women's opinion the same as men's and addressed women the same way as men

[ieBrazil]

@aidavdbrake

Jew is not (and never will be) a race (thank God, 'cause that'd bo so much). It's a term to designate the ones belonging to Judaism; therefore, not an ethinic group. Besides it, you're completely right: art in general stands way above politics...

[aidavdbrake]

@ieBrazil Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic differences between different groups of people, although anyone may be discriminated against on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of their somatic differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnicity discrimination. [from wikipedia]

[ieBrazil]

@aidavdbrake

Very well.And the same conventions you refer must make difference between religious discrinination and racial or ethnicity descrimination.Racial and ethnicity, evidently, say the same thing.The difference is that one is a sociological concept(ethnicity)and the other is a popular one.The case is that Jew is not an ethnicity nor a 'race', but a religion (and Jewish refers to the religious person.).Semitic is the people linked to this religion,if this is what you're trying to know.

[stuartw12345612]

@aidavdbrake, you will have been told this before and you will get told again, Jews are not a race of their own therefore it cannot be racist, don't quote some wikipedia tosh to try and back up what you've said as it is clear and simple enough.

[aidavdbrake]

@stuartw12345612 or Create a video response The terms racism and racist were first introduced by anti-Nazis and anti-fascists a few years before the outbreak of WWII. It has therefore always been used indicating discrimination based on skin color, hair type, facial features, skeleton structure, religion and heritage. Of course modern day racists gladly abuse the word to say: you see, they are no race, so we are no racists! But the word has NEVER been ONLY ABOUT RACE!!

[stuartw12345612]

@aidavdbrake, that may well be your interpretation of it and you are entitled to your own opinion however wrong you may be.

[paulostroff99]

@aidavdbrake -These bigots should at least have kept ttheir yappers shut and their opinions to themselves.Nobody died and made them god.Wagner was a thief,a bigot and likely much else not to be admired for,but aside from these character flaws he was among the top handfull of all time genius composers.

[mbdcjhp]

@paulostroff99 Agreed full-force. Love this!!

[Lacon1000]

Yes. But it's RICHARD Wagner. And only music!

[DerSchwanenritter]

And here comes My Beuatiful Bride - €lsa or Shalla - Bal !! DANK€ SCHÖN H€RR WAGN€R.

[kim66003]

yeah right very nice but I like his mates wedding march better!! I think he's called Mendelssohn.

[nosuchpersonvideo]

Wagner for entering, Mendelssohn for departing with Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" and Copland's "Simple Gifts" for the ceremony itself. : )

[GMANinGA250]

Just make sure you're not playing Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries for the entry. Unless, of course, the bride is a bit of a wench ;-).

Hehe, I agree though. Good choices!

[nosuchpersonvideo]

That's for the divorce. :)

[totopos05]

yeah I agree it is Mendelssohn, it sounds more dramatic!

[SimZoomZoom]

I'm related to Wagner! No, I'm related to Wagner! No, I'M related to Wagner, and so is my wife!

[FieldHockey007]

I'm related to Wagner.

No seriously! I am!

What a fantastic, powerful piece!

[dacatholicbandorgan]

My Dad's Mother's Mothers Parents where from Germany with the name "Wagner" and are (including my self) musicians. So we think that we are related to him as well.

[zeron2222]

sure because he was irish and not german *rolleyes*

[FieldHockey007]

I actually i'm. Excuse me, but people can travel throughout the world and live were ever they want to. Just because i'm from Northern Ireland doesn't mean i am not German. My father is German and my mum is Northern Irish. I have Scottish blood and English blood. What right do you have to go around on the internet saying that people cannot be of mixed origins? You know nothing of my family so you have no right to say that.

[dacatholicbandorgan]

Exactly, I am part Spanish, French, Scotish, and German AND PROUD!!!!!!!!

[RayDude45]

thats awesome!

[guitarsoloplayer]

Yeah, I am part Spanish and French too :)

[ManUJuveReal]

Richard Wagner's Lohengrin

This version is more than amazing

[WestechWatcher]

I was told that this song was from A Midsummer Night's Dream where a woman married a beast who devoured her on their wedding night. This song was used at their wedding. Is that true? My Lutheran church will not allow this processional to be used. What is the story behind this song and what makes it so controversial?

[Iampa1963]

As far as I know it is from Richard Wagner's Lohengrin. I had never before heard it was controversial, though.

[amandalyn7986]

My Lutheran Church is having a fit as well, but my fiance is the president and he is allowing it. I think there is some crazy background to the song, but come on people-lets be real, its a wedding, and to my knowledge...Christians aren't supposed to be superstitious right?

[Greniel11]

hey it's almost like In wii music!

[Raed103]

WOW ! This version is more than amazing

[Jiltedin2007]

I'm currently 46 years old right now, and I'm still looking to get married.

Why can't I find that Woman I need in my life?

[stugrimshaw]

(i meant tammy166 below, sorry)

[whitecityboi]

Being an organist myself and have played for many weddings, only once have I played the Bridal Chorus and that was specificly requested by the bride. There is a TON of music out there that would suite better for a processional. I would encourage anyone that is getting married to consult with an organist and they will give you some ideas you'd preter over the chorus. IMO

[doobeedoo58]

Exactly...having played at many weddings myself, I have been able to stir the bride away from this Chours once I told the story. Most choose the Trumpet Voluntary, because it was used at Princess Di's wedding, or a simpler classical piece (one bride chose the Masquerade Waltz from Don Giovanni afer she heard it). So I agree, just consult the musician or the organist. Maybe the music suggested would be more pleasing than the Bridal Chorus.

[doobeedoo58]

LOL 'cuze me ...meant to say the Minuet from Don Giovanni

[doobeedoo58]

If most young ladies knew the story of Lohengrin, and the circumstances of this march, most would not use it. Lohengrin is basically about a Knight come to help Elsa, who is being tried for he brother's disappearance. She is driven insane by Otrud and Frederick who want to claim the throne that is Elsa's. Elsa agrees to the condition that she never ask Lohengrin his name...when she does she dies. Edward Elgar wrote some more suitable marches which could be condensed and used.

[Boerenfox]

Indeed. There is nothing happy about Elsa von Brabant in the libretto of the opera.

[TypesALot]

I had this for my processional in 2004 in a Catholic Church. The holy-roller woman who sang said to me, "No country songs are appropriate here." I didn't even WANT any non-traditional music. It depends on who you deal with, that's all.

[Nquizitiv1]

Who cares? Really? It's YOUR Wedding!! YOUR WEDDING! You need to ask yourself whether God is really going to mind WHAT song or version of song you had playing at your WEDDING. All He really cares, is that you're happy. Why do organized religions make such a big deal of this stuff? If you honestly think God is going to care, then maybe you should consider switching Religions if you're that overwrought.

[red12512]

oh good i'm glad to hear that.

[red12512]

Also when one of my friends got married (in 2000) she had a secular song playing as the wedding party left the church.

[red12512]

REALLY?! Oh no that is not good, b/c I'm Catholic and will be getting engaged soon. That song is definitely want I want. Are you sure?

[VersaillesLaNuit]

I am sure. There is a vast collection of hymns to select from though. I would suggest these...1)Ave Maria...2)Missale processionals (probably in the High/ Glorious form)...3)probably just consult with your Diocese's Music Director, or a Bishop, they should be able to help you in making selections appropriate to your wedding.

[stapril90]

no thats not true. my family is catholic and their churches have all played this. my parents got married in ecuador, so i think it was banned for them, though because they got married to ave maria. but nowadays in america, they let it slide.

[SarahBaybiiOx99Ox]

i cant wait ot get married now :D

[Jiltedin2007]

I've never been married before. We must have one thing in common.

Like you, I also want to get married soon.

[nighttigress1]

It gets kinda discordant in the middle of the first "verse" but in a chapel that smooths out

[cutee1986]

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks

i was looking for it :D

[red12512]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!! How could anyone ever ever ever want a different wedding tune? :) It's so beautiful. Oh, I could see why other people would want a more contemporary song, but -- STILL! :)

[VersaillesLaNuit]

It's quite lovely, but being it is more along the lines of secular (it is secular music with not a hint of worship), the Roman Catholic Church has forbidden it in weddings.

[lauraliz84]

That's actually not true for all churches. I'm getting married in a Roman Catholic Church in 2 1/2 weeks and this is my processional!

[Tammy166]

The "Bridal Chorus" is seldom played at Jewish weddings which do not feature a processional. There are objections due to Wagner's reputation as an anti-Semite. It is also opposed by many pastors of the Lutheran Church because of pre-First World War Lutheran opposition to the theater. The Catholic Church generally does not use the Bridal Chorus; the chorus is a secular piece of music, and especially that its frequent use in film and television associate it with sentimentality rather than worship.

[stripe098]

your not smart.

[stugrimshaw]

this is lifted verbatim from wikipedia. bad form.

[beardblond]

(Kanskje dama og jeg tar oss en knull etterpå, for å feire litt!)

[stevietestarossa]

really? ooh well I never.

[beardblond]

Denna er jævlig fin, men fytte grisen så mange som ikke burde hørt den. Altså ikke giftet seg! Bare tull, og bortkastede penger. (Og dette er det ingen andre en nordmenn, svensker og dansker som skjønner. Ha ha ha ha!)
