                    Witch? Mendelssohn 'Die Erste Walpurgisnacht' (he also wrote a Witches Song), and there are plenty of witches on the Bald Mountain included in Walt Disney's 'Fantasia'.

                        Not "Witch", but you've got the W!

                        (Note, "Disney's" in the clue, not "Mussorgsky's").
