Re: [Harp-L] Here Comes the Bride

["Vern Smith" <jevern@xxxxxxx>]

I have the Bridal Chorus from Wagner's Lohengrin ("Here Comes the Bride") in 
fake-book form.....melody notes and chord names.  It starts in Bb, modulates 
to G, and then ends in Bb.  Because of  modulation and accidentals, it works 
fine on a chromatic but seems impossible to me on a diatonic.  This piece is 
typically played when the bride enters.

I also have the fake book version of Wedding March by Mendelssohn from 
"Midsummer Night's Dream" that is typically played as a recessional as the 
bride & groom depart.  It is in C and has only one C# accidental.

If you are there and all set up to play, maybe you could play them both. If 
I were doing it, I would try to arrange to have a harp (the kind with 
strings) or guitar accompaniment. A keyboard with harp or guitar 
samples/synth might work.

If you are interested, email your snailmail address offlist and I'll send 
you xerox copies of the two pieces.

My niece's wedding is happening soon and she up and decides that she would 
like for me to do the "Here Comes the Bride" part on harp. I'm flattered she 
asked, and of course I'll do it. Anyone have a good version they might 
share?
