Felix Mendelssohn’s Wedding March was originally written in 1842 as incidental music to Shakespeare’s famousplay, Midsummer Night’s Dream. When Queen Victoria’s daughter used the music for her marriage in 1858, it became instantly popular and has remained a wedding favourite ever since.
This version is arranged for Solo Viola and Piano and the performance time is around three and a half minutes. Of course, performers, especially at weddings, may wish to abridge and shorten the arrangement. This is easily done as the different sections are self-contained and interchangeable. Repeats may also be ignored. Both the full length youtube performance and the short audio sample are from the Clarinet version off this arrangement.
The solo part is intermediate level, while the piano accompaniment suits an advanced intermediate player.Both will find this ideal for formal and informal performances, with both parts enjoying melodic interest.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with building dynamic range and stamina.
