Mendelssohn wrote the incidental music, for Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in 1842, 16 years after he wrote the Overture. It was written to a commission from King Frederick William IV of Prussia. The music became one of Mendelssohn's most popular works. The 'Wedding March' is one of the best known of the pieces from this incidental music and the most frequently used of all wedding marches, generally being played on a church pipe organ. Dutch arranger Joost van Wichen arranged the march for a Symphonic Band.
