Wedding March

Warblings at Eve. Piano solo. m., Henry Brinley Richards. London: Robert Cocks & Co.

Wedding March. (1854) (harp arr.) according to Percy A. Scholes, The Oxford Companion to Music, London, 1938, p. 1015, the popularity of the march at weddings dates, in England, from 1858. Scholes reports: "The first organist to play the . . . piece was probably Samuel Reay . . . then organist of the parish church of Tiverton, Devon, who in 1847 made an organ arrangement of his own from the pianoforte duet arrangement just published by Novello, Ewer & Co., and introduced it at a wedding in that church. But this use of the music seems first to have become fashionable from the occasion of the wedding of the Princess Royal in 1858.") A wedding march is a piece of music played during a wedding, usually during the entrance of the bride (processional) or the departure of the married couple at the end (recessional).
