Wendy the Wonky Witch is a spooky and original duet written by David McKeown for one Oboe and one Bassoon. 

Wendy the Wonky Witch is one in a series of ten Halloween-themed duets each presenting a portrait of a different Halloween character. All ten can be bought together in one collection by searching for 10 Spooky Halloween Duets for Oboe and Bassoon.

Wendy tries her best, but she’s a bit of a failure at witching. She developed a fear of flying after her broomstick started chasing seagulls, and her tadpole stew, (which tastes of chocolate cake), explodes if left overnight.

Wendy the Wonky Witch is suitable for players at an advanced intermediate level and above. The main melody in 6/8 is medium fast with chromatic passages, while the slower middle section is a lyrical waltz. The range is accessible for both players. With a playing-time of around three minutes, Wendy the Wonky Witch is a perfect spooky addition to any performance program, formal or informal.
