Wagner's Bridal Chorus
"Wagner's Bridal Chorus," composed by Richard Wagner in 1850, is a famous piece of music from his opera Lohengrin. It is often played during wedding ceremonies, particularly as the bride walks down the aisle. The piece is known for its uplifting and majestic melody, symbolizing love and new beginnings.
The chorus is originally sung by a group of maidens celebrating the arrival of Lohengrin, a knight of the Holy Grail. Over time, it has become a traditional choice for weddings, making it one of the most recognizable wedding songs in Western culture.
