Description:
Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921) was asked by his sister to compose music for a play for her children in 1890. He first started to compose Hänsel und Gretel, based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, as a singspiel consisting of a play with 16 songs and piano. Later he created a full scale opera from the songs. This is an arrangement of the overture from this opera.
