This reduction was made for woodwind quintet with chords, with the intention of being totally practical for musicians of small groups who wish to use it especially at weddings, and not only, can be used for academic or performance purposes, because in it were extracted all the essence of the original work, however, being adapted to be easy to play, serving professional musicians or beginners. The Bridal Chorus by Richard Wagner was composed in 1850 as a prelude to the third act of the opera Lohengrin. It is played when Elsa and Lohengrin enter the bridal chamber to consummate their marriage. The wedding night turns tragic, and Wagner is said to have found it amusing that the piece was used at weddings.
