Lock Horns / Rage On

Description

Simon Dobson's march "Lock Horns/Rage On" was commissioned by the Leyland Band and their conductor Jason Katsikaris, and formed part of their program for the Brass in Concert Championships, held at The Sage, Gateshead (Newcastle, England) on November 15, 2009. The performance is available on the DVD Brass in Concert 2009. The work is dedicated to the composer's brother-in-law, who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder. It can be best described as a headlong dash from chaos to order, evil to good, illness to health, and dark to light.
