Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (1805-1847) is quickly becoming one of the best-known woman composers of the Romantic era. This is the newly recovered wedding recessional that she wrote for her own wedding in 1829. A stately and vigorous march, it alternates between sections of full chords and imitative sections, with wide-spaced chords and a prominent pedal line. The various sections contrast melodic elements with chords. The Prelude in F Major shows Fanny's admiration for Bach's works in its use of "Prelude" in the title and in its idiomatic writing for the organ. All dynamic, articulation, and tempo marks are suggestions of the editor.
