The most famous musical composition associated with A Midsummer Night's Dream was composed by Felix Mendelssohn. It is not, however, a "version" of the play, but rather incidental music meant to accompany a performance. Think of it as the "soundtrack" to the play (it was so used in the 1935 film of the play, and partially again in the 1999 film). There are a number of pieces in the suite, but the one absolutely everyone knows is the Wedding March, which is played at many weddings.
