Engelbert Humperdinck  (1854-1921)
Evening Prayer from the opera "Hansel und Gretel"

The scene develops as follows: While the two children sing their evening prayer, fourteen angels appear onstage in light flowing robes. Hansel and Gretel fall asleep peacefully as a golden rain descends from heaven. Before the curtain slowly closes, a delicate postlude is played by the orchestra, which is played here by the organ.
