Wedding Music Sonata No. 3: Allegro maestoso FELIX MENDELSSOHN Because of its grandeur, this piece works well for couples interested in an awe-inspiring but outside-the-norm processional. Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was a precocious and highly gifted composer, who -- like Mozart -- began writing great music already in his early childhood. Some of his most popular and enduring works were written when he was a teenager! This Allegro maestoso comes from the first movement of his third organ sonata, and it's heard here in an abridged version suitable for the wedding procession. |
