Scored for Narrator, Flute (who plays the part of Nadia the Witch's Cat), Oboe and Clarinet (the Witch), Horn (the spell for making thunder) and Bassoon (Hubertus the Dragon). Perfect for schools' concerts, education projects and children's concerts. The piece is suitable for an audience of children from 5 years old. ' 'The witch's cat who lost her spells' is a welcome addition to the wind quintet repertoire, especially for those quintets who often perform children's concerts. Based on an original story by the composer, Maddy Aldis-Evans tells a yarn about a witch, her cat and a lovable dragon which children of all ages will enjoy. The leitmotivs introducing each character are easy for children to grasp, yet interesting and innovative so as to capture the imagination of adults as well. The speaking parts for the players are great fun. Playing 'The witch's cat who lost her spells' is the most fun I've had in quintet since Berio's 'Opus Number Zoo'! ' Daniel Costello, Horn.
