J. Strauss II: Wer uns getraut? (from "The Gypsy Baron")
Johann Strauss II (1825-99):
"Wer uns getraut?" or "Wer hat Euch denn getraut?" ("Who Tied The Knot?")
From "Der Zigeunerbaron" (The Gypsy Baron, 1885)
This is one of the best-known Strauss songs, from his operetta "Der Zigeunerbaron", with the chorus "Die Liebe, die Liebe ist eine Himmelsmacht!"
My recording is based on an arrangement for violin and cello by Arjan van der Boom from:

I've played it on mandolin and tenor guitar instead, which works just fine.
1915 Luigi Embergher mandolin
Ozark tenor guitar
It's a fun piece to play, and not at all difficult (at least the mandolin part, the guitar part is a bit trickier - I tried it on mandocello but got my fingers in a knot).
