This piece of music was composed by famous composer Richard Wagner in 1848 for his opera called Lohengrin. The second piece of music known as The Wedding March was composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1842 as a march written for Shakespeareâs A Midsummer Nightâs Dream.
The music to which the words of the refrain Land of Hope and Glory, &c below are set is the trio theme from Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1. The words were fitted to the melody on the suggestion of King Edward VII who told Elgar he thought the melody would make a great song.
