Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral (from Lohengrin) by Richard Wagner (1813-1883), transcribed by Dennis L. A. Tischhauser.
This mystic and powerful music is the opening of scene 4, Act II, from the German Romantic Opera (in three acts). Lohengrin was first performed in 1850. The scene portrayed by the music, with its medieval color and pageantry, prefaces the betrothal of Elsa (the sister of Gottfried, the child Duke of Antwerp) to Lohengrin (a knight of the Holy Grail), who has come to deliver the people of Antwerp from the Hungarian invaders. Today's transcription is constructed into three choirs (two six-part trombone choirs and a four-part euphonium/tuba choir) with timpani and cymbals. A solo tenor trombone (Choir 1) represents Lohengrin, answered by a solo alto trombone (Choir 1) representing Elsa as they come together to proceed to the Cathedral. The work concludes triumphantly with the couple's entrance to the Cathedral. Lohengrin was an immediate popular success. Today's transcription was completed in 2010.
