Blaze Away! - Abe Holzmann, arr. Erik W.G. Leidzen

The inspiration for this march came from a well-published incident during the Spanish-American War. During a naval conflict in Manila Bay in 1898, Admiral George Dewey was standing on the bridge of the flagship Olympia with Captain Charles Gridley, who was awaiting firing orders from his superior officer. When Dewey gave the command, “You may fire when you are ready,” Gridley replayed the order to his crew with, “Well, boys, let’s blaze away,” and the guns began pouring their shells into the vitals of the Spanish fleet. Blaze Away! Has retained its popularity throughout the 20th century. --Program note in the Score by Marcus L.
