Onslaught 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.
