This composition was composed for and performed by the American Duo Montagnard (Joe Murphy – saxophone, Matthew Slotkin – guitar). The composition consists of three movements that depict three short scenarios of which the central theme is the life of a witch – this theme was chosen due to the timbre possibilities and their metaphorical interpretations offered by the registers of and interaction between the instruments.

The first movement is a depiction of witches that congregate, the second movement is a depiction of witches that dance as part of a mysterious ritual, and the third movement is a depiction of a member from the witch family that passed away and the others’ mourning.

The high register of the saxophone is explored in this composition and the guitar is employed as a mysterious agent – both instruments are employed to perform in unconventional ways at some points. These unconventional performance techniques create various sound effects that contribute to the programmatic scenes depicted in the various movements.
