Bridal Chorus & Wedding March – for Solo Cello
Richard Wagner & Felix Mendelssohn
Arranged by Jonathan Humphries

This solo cello arrangement brings together two of the most iconic pieces of wedding music in the classical repertoire: Wagner’s Bridal Chorus (Here Comes the Bride) and Mendelssohn’s Wedding March from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Adapted for solo cello, these arrangements capture the ceremonial character and joyful spirit of the originals while remaining idiomatic for the instrument. The music allows the cellist to explore the full expressive range of the cello through lyrical melody, elegant phrasing, and confident rhythmic articulation.

These pieces are ideal for:
• wedding performances
• recital repertoire
• ceremonial events
• developing expressive tone and musical phrasing

Whether performed in a formal ceremony or in the studio, these timeless melodies allow the cello to shine in music that audiences immediately recognize and love.

A practical and elegant addition to any cellist’s repertoire.
