The video below is from Wagner's Tannhäuser (opera), Act 3. By the way, Wagner is famously mainly for his operas and orchestral work. He also composed some songs (solo voice with accompaniment) and choral work, although I don't think it'll ever be performed by any school choir.
By the way, the famous "Here Comes the Bride/Bridal Chorus" a song from Wagner's Lohengrin (another opera). Cool. Don't confuse that with Mendelssohn's "Wedding March", the other famous wedding tune, though.
Here's what seems to be the original, opera version with the characters singing. The recording is cut 'halfway' because, well, that would be the part where the music transits to the next song in the opera.
I like the part when the chorus sings 'Hallelujah' and especially the triumphant E-flat major chord at 3:37.
Although it's in German, I also found a translated version of it here (youtube video).
