Three witch-like altos performing Shakespeare's chant of the three witches 
(from Macbeth), with a quasi-ostinato guitar accompaniment. 
The sound sample is a performance by the composer - multitracking.

It is suitable for a Shakespeare performance or, more generally, for a Halloween concert. 

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd
    Thrice and once the hedgepig whin'd
    Harper cries: 'Tis time, 'tis time.
    Round about the cauldron go;
    In the poison'd entrails throw.
    Toad, that under cold stone
    Days and nights hast thirty one
    Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
    Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.


    Double, double toil and trouble;
    Fire burn and cauldron bubble.


    Fillet of a fenny snake,
    In the cauldron boil and bake;
    Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
    Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
    Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
    Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,
    For a charm of powerful trouble,
    Like a hellbroth boil and bubble.


    Double, double toil and trouble;
    Fire burn and cauldron bubble.


    Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
    Witch's mummy, maw and gulf
    Of the ravin'd saltsea shark,
    Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark
    Liver of blasphemer too,
    Gall of goat, and slips of yew
    Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse,
    Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips,
    Finger of birth-strangled babe
    Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,
    Make the gruel thick and slab:
    Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
    For the ingredients of our cauldron.


    Double, double toil and trouble;
    Fire burn and cauldron bubble.


    Cool it with a baboon's blood,
    Then the charm is firm and good.
