the wedding song?

Question

What are the words for the wedding song?. All I know is here comes the bride", them my mind goes blank.

Answer 1

Although these are not the original german lyrics from the opera Lohengrin, or even a translation of them, I think this is what you're looking for. In the classic movie "The Best Years of our Lives" it is sung by the children during Homer's wedding. These are the lyrics they sing:

"Here comes the bride
All dressed in white
Sweetly serene in the soft glowing light
Lovely to see
Marching to thee
Sweet love united for eternity."

This is a great movie. If you haven't seen it, rent it!

Answer 2

Just some facts -
This is the standard wedding march played as the bride walks down the aisle at weddings. It came from Wagner's opera Lohengrin, where it was used in a wedding scene between the characters Elsa and Lohengrin. In the opera, the marriage is doomed to fail.
This is usually played on an organ with no vocal accompaniment, but in Wagner's opera, there were words that went along with it. It is sung by the bridal party after the wedding.
Wagner was notoriously anti-Semitic. As a result, the song is rarely played at Jewish weddings.

This gives you a playback, lyrics, and score. You'll need to install a plug in but it is harmless. No need to register just hit the back button in your browser and it works just fine.

Answer 3

Run a "Google" search and find out - the lyrics are published everywhere.

The words are a pretty poor bit of composition written to go with the melody of the "Wedding March" from Richard Wagner's "Lohengrin." Usually the music is played - and not sung.

If you want some wonderful, exciting music for the march in or out of the ceremony, consider Jeremiah Clark's "Trumpet Voluntary in D," either an instrumental or a vocal version of Mozart's "Alleluia!" or a transcription of another piece of Wagner, the "Prelude to Act III" of "Lohengrin."

Of course, most men, thinking back on their weddings, wonder whether they shouldn't have insisted on a special composition by the Baroque English composer Henry Purcell - his famous 1694 "Funeral March" (written for Queen mary's procession).

Best of luck!

Answer 4

who cares - that song is cheesy! Go the classy route and use something more original. We used lots of great classical music in our ceremony, and everyone loved how unique it was!
