2. Evening Prayer
Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921) / Adelheid Wette (1858-1816)
Arranged by Cantabile / Trans. David Poutney (b. 1947)
From Hansel and Gretel. A great favourite especially at Christmas and New Year. We have embellished this delightful duet so as to make it a lush piece for quartet.
The two children have been sent into the woods by their mother to pick strawberries. Realising they are lost, they comfort themselves by singing their familiar evening prayer before falling asleep.
