about
SHEET MUSIC for the Bridal Chorus (Gentle Piano, Short), also called Wedding March, Here Comes The Bride, or Bridal March. This is a soft, reflective arrangement of the Wedding March.
The entire album is priced like a piece of SHEET MUSIC, as this site does not provide a way to sell sheet music alone. So, buy the album, and receive both a short and long sheet music version of the Bridal Chorus, along with all 3 audio tracks on the album, for the price of the sheet music.
Our site features many more arrangements of this well known processional song; you can hear short examples of many of them on our wedding music samples album (link above), or hear 25 versions in their entirety on our Bridal Chorus Variations.

lyrics
The Bridal Chorus is never sung in modern day weddings, although the opera Lohengrin, from which the song is taken, featured the bridal party singing it to the bride, Elsa, following the wedding ceremony and as she was proceeding to the bridal chamber. Variously called the Wedding March, Bridal March, or "Here Comes The Bride", this is of course the most famous bridal processional, and the tune to which your mother, grandmother, and other family members may well have walked down the aisle.
There have been several attempts to rewrite the lyric for the Bridal Chorus, and some translations of the original opera lyric as well, but none have achieved any degree of popularity. One overriding issue in the rewrite attempts is the march-like nature of the music, which seems to not match most lyrics one would expect to hear being sung, if this song were ever sung at all, during the bride's walk down the aisle.
