Phillip Sear plays a popular Swedish bridal march from 1865, taken from Söderman's music to Frans Hedberg's play 'Bröllopet på Ulfåsa' (Wedding at Ulfåsa).

"Johan August Söderman, born in Stockholm 17 July 1832. Studied harmony and piano at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music as a teenager. Acquired practical experience as music director for a travelling theatre company in the 1850s, and later as choirmaster and second conductor of the Royal Opera from 1860 until his death on 10 February 1876. In his capacity as music director for the theatre he composed a great deal of incidental music for plays, as well as vocal works, such as solo and choral ballads and songs. These pieces proved very popular, especially on account of their purportedly folk–music influences. Söderman was a much lauded composer in Stockholm in the mid–19th century, and despite his short life, his output was considerable and many of his works are still performed to this day." Reproduced from Swedish Musical Heritage website: http://bit.ly/2blfdsO - there is much more information on the composer and his work there.  This piece (played in a published piano version) seems to be popular in Sweden, and would be a great alternative to Grieg's 'Wedding Day in Troldhaugen' for those wishing to add a Scandinavian flavour to their wedding music.
