Urban Sprawl

Urban Sprawl

Urban Sprawl-Landis Maitland-Whitelaw-Orchestral

This piece was written to showcase as much of a Symphony Orchestra as I could in one piece. Features all the sections: Winds, Brass, Strings, percussion both tuned and not tuned. It displays tension through out the piece and is pleasing to the ear.

It was submitted to the Regina Symphony in Saskatchewan Canada for the provinces anniversary. It was selected as 1 of 5 to be played in concert for the occasion.

The Sandal March

The Sandal March

Landis Maitland-Whitelaw-The Sandal March

This piece of music was written from a call for composition. It was for Brass Band 2001. I was asked to arrange it for the Harmony Band that I played in and subsequently it was played twice with me at the baton for the first time in 2002. This version is for orchestra. Most marches have a very urban in your face feel to them. The Sandal March has a very soft feel to it, as if you are with a group of Boy Scouts who like to fool around.
