Lohengrin: Act III, Sc. 1: Bridal Chorus: Treulich gefuhrt (excerpt) [Alf:36-A391701]

Finished in 1848 and premiered in 1950 in Weimar, Germany, Richard Wagner's (1813-1883) LOHENGRIN tells a story of a tragic medieval German romance in the Knight of the Swan tradition. Elsa, a princess in Brabant, is rescued and wedded by a knight in shining armor who insists on remaining nameless. Most are familiar with the famous wedding march from the opera (commonly referred to today as "Here Comes the Bride"), and this original chorus and orchestra version may be easily programmed either as an opera excerpt or as a concert work. Instrumentation: 3.2.2.3: 4.2.3.1: Perc(1): Hp: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Mx Chor (available separately).
