Here is a lovely, gentle piece for developing Tenor-Bass choirs, with piano accompaniment and an optional string quartet. The text, adapted by Adelheid Wette from “Hansel und Gretel”, evokes the peaceful, intimate atmosphere of evening as the children prepare for bed. Themes of home, safety, and calm reflection shine through simple, sweet imagery. Musically, the piece features a flowing melody, lyrical phrasing, and expressive four-part harmonies that create warmth and serenity, making it both accessible and rewarding for singers.
