Blaze Away!

Sheet music published in London.

"Blaze Away!" is a 1901 march by the German-American composer Abe Holzmann. It was his greatest success.[1]

Holzmann was inspired by the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish–American War, when a command to American sailors to open fire on the Spanish fleet was reputedly met with the response "Well boys, let's blaze away" by the gunners.[2] Building on the war fever in the United States, the cover of the sheet music featured an image resembling Theodore Roosevelt charging at San Juan Hill.[3] Very popular as a two-step, its success outlasted the war and it became a repertoire piece amongst military bands around the world.
