Mendelssohn - A Midsummer Night's Dream - Wedding March

[hellopeople201]

beautifuel

[paulababygurl]

Beautiful the original marriage song:)

[RapidEyesCream]

@paulababygurl This song is normally played at the end of the service. The Wedding March (Wagner's Bridal Chorus) is often played when the bride is walking down the aisle.

[undercracked]

he sucks...

[DivusJuIius]

Everything that Wagner said about Mendelssohn is true.

[zacsmith2014]

I can't wait to get married again and have this song t my wedding! it will definitely be better the second time around haha

[MrTrayguy]

Mendelssohn was brillant.

[AnnihilatorCZ]

Makes me want to get divorced and then get married.

[dedoctor03]

gosh !!! was waiting for this track!!! can any 1 semme de original version if it!!!

[papefarras]

it´s well, very well

i prefer with more picture

xD

[XHaruhiAnimeX]

Like if you were sent here by Octavia Pie, at Leeroy and FlutterShys wedding... LOL

[NinjaTertl]

@XHaruhiAnimeX this sounds interesting... tell me more.

[XHaruhiAnimeX]

@NinjaTertl Ahha well I have a page on facebook for a pony, and uhm well she got married, and the wedding band i guess played this? LOL well her admin posted this link. Its a very pretty song tho :3

[TheGrandelMorro]

Not the best performance, the orchestra is almost to big. All the small integrate flourishes in the strings are totally drowned out!

[blowTAIWANup]

I prefer this wedding match to Wagner's.

[TheGrandelMorro]

@blowTAIWANup  Anytime!

[SyrenniaLestrange]

Beautiful!

[PyromaniaDisplays]

Hello Chaiassa88

Could you please tell me were you got this track from, as I would like to get a copy. I am unable to clearly read the smaller print on the screen.

[DeclanVB84]

@PyromaniaDisplays - I have this same performance on a CD set called "101 Greatest Classics" (it's on CD#2). I'm not sure if you can find a copy of the set, but google it or search for it on Amazon.

Hope this helps.

Best Wedding Song Ever

[LarsUlrichFan1988]

Oh, I will SO use this for my wedding!

[webguy21]

makes me want to settle down with a spot of tea and crumpets... :)

[hh2fan]

Makes me want to get married.

[34Packardphaeton]

Yeah; it's great if it stays great. But if one can fall in love, one can fall out of it. And

if it's just one partner that falls out of it, it's real hell. I can say so from experience:

it's 39 years this Friday . . . and I haven't loved her in 26 years. May all others be

more fortunate.

[Ozetteisaballetnerd]

actually it is not when a girl is forced to marry a donkey. This song is played when the all of the lovers are married in a triple ceremony.

[JiS01]

Who ever started this for using it for marriage??

[shaylenmusic]

@JiS01 in A Midsummer Night Dream, the opera by Mendelssohn based on Shakespeare's play, I believe this is the music a wedding scene.

[moltoallegro19]

@shaylenmusic Mendelssohn wrote no such opera. He simply wrote incidental music for the play.

[sweetnessrenaify]

this always makes me smile :]

[xX0PinkSugar0Xx]

If Mendelssohn were alive, he would be rich by now thanks to the wedding march ;)

[WSenator1]

@xX0PinkSugar0Xx - Agreed. If he were alive, thanks to the Wedding March, Felix would be rolling in ducats - alongside Edward Elgar (Pomp and Circumstance) and Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol).

[becky7008]

@WSenator1 hehe!!! ...what are ducats?! :P

[becky7008]

@WSenator1 ahh....old gold coins - got it ;-)

[COOLNick1397]

I DO!!!!

[forrestfire1012]

TOO FAST!!!!

[Greavily]

@forrestfire1012 In fact, this IS the right tempo: Allegro Vivace.

[Azurlake]

Remember this piece sounds in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" when the girl is forced to marry a donkey, so... I wouldn't choose this one for me own wedding.

[JHR39]

I think that we must writte "A Midnight's summer dreams". Javier from Argentina.-

[Loobs666]

Remember, you naysayers, that it was fucking up this piece of music that caused Hannibal Lecter to kill the flautist Benjamin Raspail and feed his pancreas to a bunch of unsuspecting snobs! So... feel free to slag it off at your peril.... Good Luck... and Ta-Ta!

[geezonthekeys]

@Loobs666 inspired..

[LENA19431]

...ez a zene szólt anno...:)))

[scorzi]

It's not a terrible piece of music, it's just the fact we've heard it in tons of movies and tv shows and at weddings (like Pachabel's Canon in D) that everyone is sick of it.

[Agomongo1235]

@scorzi ur kidding right? this song isnt pplayed that muh nor is canon

[Kivstar]

why would anyone dislike this??? =.="

[SharpWanker]

@Kivstar lonely douche bags

[kimburruss]

@Kivstar

How could anybody LIKE this mess!!! Horrible song!!!

[Kivstar]

@kimburruss Hey dude, it isn't a song. Get it right. It is a march! & Look at what SharpWanker said, "lonely douche bags", I suppose you are one then.

[nelson4568]

@kimburruss if you prefer some cambodian african shit look it up on youtube and play it out of your stolen escalades speakers at your wedding

[error023023]

@nelson4568

Shake the sand out of your vagina, racist.

[nelson4568]

@error023023 hahaha well played

[chaseyoungismine]

i lsiting to this today at my sisters wedding.. was almost in tears

[allexfenty]

Such a damn powerful piece...Fills me right up with so many emotions..

[SnickleFritz79]

This music is not the traditional wedding processional. "Her Comes the bride" aka Richard Wagner's Wedding March is the music used when the bride walks down the church aisle. This music is used when the bride and groom are married and they leave the church.

[2lovebloved8]

this is realy a master piece

this piece was written for William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

i love it :D

[where729]

很隆重!!!

[destroydavid]

T.T =)

[2frey84]

If I'm at a wedding and I hear that at the end when the bride and groom are walking out I actually get goosebumps!

[christiansrock1]

@freshPrincess626 are u talking about canon in D?

[lis345543]

wonderfull

[asibilat83]

wonderfull ! splendide ! What a lovely music ! I enjoy Mendelsson for his romantic music ! I never forget it ! Sure !

[freshPrincess626]

QUESTION: does anybody know what that other wedding-type song is called? i don't think it was composed specifically for weddings, but it's played at a lot of them, especially on tv and in movies. (i.e. it was played on Charmed for Piper and Leo's wedding...). it's pretty slow, lots of strings... anybody know what that's actually called?

[christiansrock1]

@freshPrincess626 are u talking about canon in d?

[freshPrincess626]

@christiansrock1

i just youtubed it, and YES!! that's it. thanx a lot! it's so pretty, and now i actually know how to refer to it in case i want to use it in my own wedding one day.

[gbdescu]

@freshPrincess626 Wagner - bridal chorus! that's the other famous and overplayed one!

[WSenator1]

@gbdescu - . . .but if brides (and maybe grooms, too) still want them played at their weddings, are they really overplayed?

[flamingpheonix123]

@freshPrincess626: Your probably thinking of Canon in D Major :)

[Chad4U]

I don't care about wishing to have this at my wedding this IS going to be played at my wedding, I wanna get married in a Cathedral so when my future bride walks up the aisle it will last with the tune, wtf am I talking about, I'm already taking about what's going to be played at my wedding, see what you've made me do!!! :) :) it is a lovely piece though :)

[1Lisztener1]

This is what a wedding should be. It should be played loud for everyoen to hear!

[Seyzen]

what? the name of the song is incorrect. It's suppose to be "Street Fighter 2 - Ken's Ending theme"..............I kid I kid! But, being a geek. That's the first thing that comes to mind. So sue me :p

[trayguy]

The most beautiful wedding song of all.

[danishpride1]

I wonder if this was played at Felix Mendelssohn's own wedding!

[me0rs0]

@danishpride1 Thats quite a good question :p I dont know perhaps he wasnt married at all, I am not really a historian

[tutemin]

I still get goose bumps when I hear this song, although it's been 7 years since I got married. <3

[justincrzo]

@music1639 this is a very good speed how it's being played right now

[TheNightcrawler92]

I wish this will be my wedding march too :) I play trumpet

[azstudio41]

Respect the composer's name and title!

Jacob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

Ein Sommernachtstraum-Op.61 Nr 9

Hochzeitsmarsch

[WSenator1]

@azstudio41 - Yes, KemoSabe!

[MultiFritzchen]

wenn ich diese musik höre, muß ich an meine Hochzeit denken - 34 jahre ist das

jetzt her - es hat nichts von seinem wunderbaren klang verloren - und die ehe

hält auch heute noch allen stürmen stand

[famousvim26]

LOL! I didn't know Mendelssohn had composed this! :-P

[Szixy100]

Fantasztikusan játszik ez a zenekar!

[HellesBringer]

I can only wish...

[ensaboapilao]

MONUMENTAL !!!

[SimonasCes]

net asara istrysko... :'( :DD

[PinkRhinosaurus]

this is crazy on the cello.

[GoTFCanada1230]

Is Midsummer Night's Dream an opera or just incidental music? Which part does the Wedding March come in anyway in Midsummer Night's Dream?

[xxdrosexx]

It's a Shakespeare Comedy..

[LiterallyTheJoy]

@GoTFCanada1230 Midsummer Night's Dream is a Shakespeare comedy

[RandomFans]

Mendelssohn is famous for his Romantic Period..

[shanklybg]

this gets me choked up...

[macyjrey]

This is Beutiful!

[LeeRio]

bwahaha! nice one racer

[9hero6]

@RacerXGTO

+1 not -3 -.-

[Vaguanni]

yeah Mendelssohn is the author of the famous marriage song!

[dabibbler]

No, Mendelssohn is the composer of the famous marriage piece.

[Nixonfan2011]

@dabibbler Wagner's is way better!

[sealforvr]

My favorite visual memory of this was way back in the late 60's, CBS played this while broadcasting the arrival of the Queen Mary at Long Beach for her retirement. HUNDREDS of small craft sailed out to greet her, along with small planes, helicopters, planes, a USN and RN frigate, tugs and fireboats spraying their water cannons- a majestic sight.

[egle8bae]

Actually is is supposed to be a happy day for the both girl AND boy

[RacerXGTO]

Supposed to be. It isn't.

[lamarr912]

@egle8bae Moreover the girl. Unless you are in a gay relationship.

[Nickname006]

I'm 15 and I've planned that when I walk to the altar will be played Pachelbel's Canon and when we walk out of the church Mendelssohn, which is amazing!

[RacerXGTO]

If you are a guy, you need to understand something about weddings. It's not your wedding, it's HER wedding. It's HER day to be princess for a day. The wedding is all about HER. All the guy needs to do is just suit up and show up.

Marriage is over-rated.

[Nickname006]

@RacerXGTO Lol thanks for the advice, but I AM a girl.

[bounc3r1986]

That's from a movie!!!.. Which one, I just can't remember... :(

[proudmaria]

Midsummer Night's Dream

[Cosmo2476]

lol! but it should be a happy occasion for the man too.

[WSenator1]

@RacerXGTO - The ceremony may be about HER, but the marriage is about THEM. Without HIM, there ain't no wedding - or marriage! And marriage is not overrated. Name me something that's better.

[RacerXGTO]

@WSenator1 Being single with loyal friend with benefits. That eliminates the 3 rings of marriage right there; The Engagement Ring, Wedding Ring, Suffering, and cuts right to the chase. There is mutual happiness for both parties.

[WSenator1]

@RacerXGTO - I will respectfully disagree with you. A loving spouse that you commit to (and has committed to you) not only provide love but friendship as well. A good marriage goes deeper than just friendship. The first two rings you mention are small prices to pay for knowing that somebody loves you, has committed to you in front of witnesses, AND will be a devoted companion to you. You suffer only if you (or the partner) go into the arrangement with shallow, transient goals. Take care.

[annchap1]

@WSenator1 Marriage rocks! and...my husband enjoyed the ceremony and was more into it then I was! He keeps saying he wants to do it again. I would if it weren't so darn expensive. Maybe on our 50th...(we are only on 8 now)

[WSenator1]

@annchap1 - I'm very happy to hear about your joy. May that continue until AT LEAST your 50th! And may it ALWAYS rock!!

[RacerXGTO]

You may now kiss your future ex wife.

[NotLogix]

LOL, too funny.

[khatiaaa]

i don't like weddings but this music is great

[Camodric123]

I always cry at weddings

[MrKillerofkillers]

Do you know that Mendelssohn born as Jew and his father was banker?

This is true!

[HelligArashi]

yep.

wagner who has been commetned bleow railed against him in a racist essay.

[21SOAR]

yea, and a good number of presidents up until Lincoln's time owned slaves. Jefferson, Jackson, Tyler, Polk, and more.

[orangesherbet0]

ah. 2:30 always gets me.

[patrickspoint]

All this chat about racists is completely irrelavent to this piece of music. Richard Wagner was co-opted by racists, but was he a racist?

Charles Dickens was a racist, as was Thomas Jefferson, but we can't judge them by todays standards.

[HelligArashi]

Yes wagner was a racist.

Never heard that about dickens but I wouldn't be surpised. Lot of hate and crappy teratents of foreighn people thorught history. Jefferson did hold slaves.

In any case wagner was racist.

And yes we can use todays standards. For the most part,

[ifuliki]

Wagner was a Christian and it was OK fir Christians to hate in those days. Christianity had nothing to do with Jesus Christ.

Aled

[eava123]

Everytime I hear think, I just think of the bride running away from the wedding, and the wedding never happeneing. Idkw, its always this song though, none of the other wedding marches.

[kathie195]

I can totally picture that.. haha won't be using this song!

[eava123]

Ik, right? Its so weird, but it can happen. Omg, Me either!!!

[calebsing]

Why are you talking about Richard Wagner, aren't you guys should talk about Mendelssohn he is the one who compose this wedding march while Wagner compose bridal chorus.

[21SOAR]

Hitler liked Wagner. Wagner didn't like Hitler. In fact, Wagner did not know Hitler. Nor did he know Otto von Bismark. Nor did he know Germany. In his day it was Prussia. So now tell me how he knew what Nazis were!

[Tim92G]

Wagner existed in an entire other century, you stupid twat.

[raiford88]

This makes me want to scream I DO!!!!

[wlh1us]

instead of that you should just RUN

[constantinos74]

...my time has come!!!!!

[kaikou13]

so this is where the wedding march came from? from one of shakespeares plays?

[JuniorTekLive]

felix mendelssohn

[allypally88]

Shakespeare didn't write it if that's what you mean, Mendelssohn wrote incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1842

[jerz211]

I DO! I DO! XD

[UraganOtEnergiya]

SO DO I! SO DO I! :D:D

[deziniki]

I love Mendelssohn, my second favorite song of his is Scherzo

[JessicavonMaurisch]

To poslouchám pořád dokola :D:D:D

[DancingStar59]

I'm playin this on the piano right now...

[yieldyieldyield]

Me too, on the organ.

[ahaili]

This was the piece that I got roped into and ultimately found my LOVE for orchestra ♥

Bass Trombone FTW!!

[KimestraAucuparia]

probably the most famous piece in the world.

[dchan19362]

probably one of many, sure Beethoven's Ninth is among there, and Mozart 40th symphony, many of Mozart's as well

[LOTRzagorath]

I would say if you going for the most FAMOUS, it would have to be the Allegro Con Brio from Beethoven's 5th.

[dchan19362]

could be but I would personally go for Beethoven's 9th first movement

[LOTRzagorath]

If you're going to go for Beethoven's 9th, I would say it would have to be the fourth movement, with Ode to Joy. Everyone's heard that, even if they don't know the name of it, or who composed it.

[LOTRzagorath]

I think that this is a very interesting conversation. :D

It would be nice to do a sort of double blind test on people. Get them to listen to a bunch of famous classical pieces, and then say which one(s) they recognised, and see which pieces get the most votes...

[TheLifeIWant]

that'd be a pretty cool thing to do.  =D

[LOTRzagorath]

Yeh absolutely!

If someone decides to go out and do this, PLEASE tell me about it!

[WaterTaufu]

THANKSSS I was searching for this for a school sketch. ^__^
