Program Notes
Arranged for 5 Bb Clarinets and bass clarinet
German composer Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921) is best known for the fairy-tale opera "Hansel und Gretel," which premiered in 1893 under the baton of Richard Strauss. His sister Adelheid Wette wrote the libretto.
Since its premiere, audiences have been captivated by the folk-inspired themes, such as the popular duet "Abendsegen" ("Abends will ich schlafen gehn"), also known as "Evening Prayer."
Peter Habraken has created a musical arrangement of this Evening Prayer for clarinet choir, which is ideal for a quiet moment during a concert or memorial service.
