The Prelude to Act 3 from Lohengrin is a thrilling orchestral introduction composed by Richard Wagner for his opera Lohengrin, which premiered in 1850. This prelude is known for its brilliant fanfares, rapid string passages, and majestic brass, creating an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.
The music serves as a transition into the wedding scene, where Lohengrin and Elsa prepare for their union. It is often performed separately as a concert piece due to its electrifying energy and orchestral brilliance.
The Anthony Galla-Rini arrangement is for: accordions 1-7, bass accordion, timpani and percussion
