Penned by the German composer for his 1850 opera Lohengrin, the music is often played for the bride’s entrance at weddings, and is commonly known as Here Comes the Bride or Wedding March. Although the music is often used without lyrics, the sheet music shows the bridal chorus, sung in Lohengrin by the women of the wedding party after the ceremony, as they accompany the heroine Elsa to the bridal chamber. The piece was first made popular in 1858 when it was used at the wedding of Victoria the Princess Royal to Prince Frederick William of Prussia.
