Felix Mendelssohn's “Wedding March” from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 61 is one of the most recognizable ceremonial works in classical music.
Its festive character, brilliant melodic writing and characteristic triplet figures have made it strongly associated with weddings and recessional ceremonies, while the melody is also widely used in lessons, recitals and classical instrumental study.
This edition presents the famous theme in C major in a compact format specifically designed for Soprano Recorder.
This edition by Maiko Thomé de Araujo combines standard musical notation with practical visual resources for learning and performance.
The score includes:
By keeping the fingering diagrams and note names directly on the score, the player can connect:
written note → note name → fingering → sound
without constantly consulting a separate fingering chart.
The included chord symbols make the edition more flexible than a melody-only transcription.
They can be used for accompaniment with:
The score therefore works both as an individual recorder study and as the melodic basis for an accompanied performance.
Keep the characteristic triplets light and rhythmically even, and avoid making the repeated articulations too heavy. Plan breaths around the larger phrases rather than individual measures, and give special attention to the trills so they decorate the melody without interrupting its ceremonial flow. A clear, focused soprano-recorder tone works especially well for the brilliant character of the piece.
Especially suitable for soprano recorder students, teachers, self-study, music lessons, school performances, weddings and ceremonial repertoire. The combination of fingering diagrams and note names is particularly useful for players developing reading fluency, fingering confidence, triplet rhythm and articulation.
