The world famous tale “Hansel and Gretel” by the Brothers Grimm was set to music in the 1890s by German composer Engelbert Humperdinck. The children‘s opera is performed regularely at many opera houses. The Evening Prayer “When at night I go to sleep”, with which the two kids sing themselves to sleep, is one of the most famous songs of this opera and is also used as the beginning of the overture.
This arrangement is scored for wind quintet with an english horn. In case that no english horn should be available, we present an alternative version that features an oboe instead. The flute and bassoon players will then use the same parts as in the version with english horn.
