Wendell lansing

Wendell Lansing (March 10th 1636-December 29th 1683) was a pianist in the late 17th century, he composed songs such as The Duel, The March, The Waters, The Choir Duel, and The Stars.

Performances
In Lansing's time, his pieces weren't performed often, but various artists, like Adolph Hauth, Jason Hilite, and Jameson Lonnel, had redid songs and performed them more than a million times in Wendell Lansing's honor.

The Duel
Debuted and written in 1750, this song was used in the movie, Life of Cole Dampwest, a movie filmed in 2013.

Reason for Writing
This song was thought of in 1750 when Wendell watched a play written by the famous writer, William Sphere, and there was a sword fight in there. So Wendell wanted to write a song to go with dueling, not just with swords, with any item.
