Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" is known as a standard wedding song around the world, although it is less heard these days.
It's a very simple melody consisting of the same repeating sound of "cha-cha-cha-chan" that sticks in your head, and it's a mysterious song that brings a soft smile to the listener's face.
There are two types of classical music known as the "Wedding March", one composed by Mendelssohn and one composed by Wagner, and this time we will introduce the score of the former, composed by Mendelssohn.
The original song is not a piano song. Therefore, the music introduced here is strictly arranged for piano. In addition to faithfully reproduced sheet music, we also have sheet music that has been modified to make it easier to play. Try to find the perfect fate score for yourself according to the difficulty level and atmosphere. There is also a score with do-re-mi and only the right hand, so beginners and small children should use that score.

Trivia about wedding marches
Before introducing the sheet music, I would like to explain some trivia about this "Wedding March."
This song was originally incidental music used in Shakespeare's plays. This wedding march is the 9th song of the music ``A Midsummer Night's Dream.'' The scene in the play where this song is used was also a wedding, so there is no doubt that it was a song for a wedding.
It is said that the reason this song jumped out of the world of drama and became widely known around the world was because it was used at the wedding of the British and German royal families at the time. After that, it was imitated and used at regular weddings.
This song has not been heard at weddings in recent years, but it is a very magnificent and wonderful song, and I hope it will remain as a classic classic in the future.
