Evening Prayer
The composition known as “Evening Prayer” transcends mere temporal boundaries; it reaches beyond the confines of a specific moment. Each listener’s experience of this piece is deeply personal, perhaps diverging significantly from Engelbert Humperdinck’s own perspective. Him as the composer and me as the arranger, our viewpoints may not align, but we share a common thread: this piece found its place in the opera Hansel and Gretel” as a prayer of hope. The word ‘evening’ carries profound symbolism- it represents not only the close of day but also the potential for salvation. Within its syllables lies the transformative power of children’s voices, echoing through its performance.
Dearest subscribers, I hope you enjoy this piece as I enjoyed arranging it.
