Onslaught (2004) was commissioned by the New Zealand Army Band to mark the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli, which took place during World War I in what is now Turkey. Farr portrays the intensity and chaos of battle with thunderous percussion, syncopated chordal stabs, and unpredictable bursts of sound. Occasionally the momentum gives way to more subtle passages that range from reflective to ominous, making Onslaught an evocative addition to brass band repertoire, enhanced by additional percussion.

The prize: domination of Asia and the Western Pacific. As the United States’ computer, satellite, and financial networks are ravaged by coordinated cyberwar attacks, China and its Associated Powers begin to roll up and intimidate American allies, launching invasions of India, Taiwan, South Korea, and Okinawa. USS Savo Island, captained by Lenson, is one of the few forces left to stop them. But with a crew under attack from an unknown assailant aboard their own ship, and rapidly running out of ordnance against waves of enemy missiles and torpedoes, can Dan and his scratch-team task force hold the line?
