Engelbert Humperdinck (1 September 1854 – 27 September 1921) was a German composer, best known for his opera Hänsel und Gretel. He studied with Ferdinand Hiller and Isidor Seiss at the Cologne Conservatory, then with Franz Lachner and later with Josef Rheinberger in Munich. Humperdinck assisted Wagner in the production of Parsifal and also served as music tutor to Wagner's son, Siegfried. Although recognized as a disciple of Wagner, Humperdinck was the first composer to use Sprechgesang - a vocal technique halfway between singing and speaking - in his melodrama Die Königskinder (1897).
