Product Description

The beloved overture from Engelbert Humperdinck's "fairy tale opera" Hansel und Gretel is here arranged for wind ensemble. The work opens with the horns and the lush "Evening Prayer," expanded on by the brass and woodwinds. A trumpet call announces the middle section, full of playful motifs bouncing between the brass and woodwinds, foreshadowing the drama to come and preparing a returning to a prayerful, hymn-like finale.
