There are lots of swing charts based on blues changes. This one is in a class of its own. An attention-grabbing intro leads to the unison ensemble melody, followed by a few choruses where all sections trade off with the lead line. The open solo section can feature any instrument with suggested solos included. After a solo spot for drums things get even more interesting and fun! The dynamic level comes way down and your bass player gets to shine with some tasty written solo licks. The final ensemble chorus builds to a shout section that really - SHOUTS! A very impressive, effective and playable chart!

Composer Reed A. Hanna writes, Red Lights! is a coming-of-age story about a young man and his attempt to find himself. In each of the three movements, the listener follows the young man on his journey through the exotic world of the red light district, which may at first seem to have an allure of excitement and novelty, but might end up being a mysterious realm of plausible scandal and ill-repute. The young man, blinded by his voracious desire to experience the unknown, encounters many things in his journey that are 'eye-opening' (to say the least). This eye-opening impression is bestowed on him most notably through his encounter with 'Madame', a character who offers the more worldly perspective that is the object of the young man's desire - or so he thinks..

Ultimately, the gut wrenching tones of the paper jam prevail but not before everyone has a blast bringing the story to life!

Perseverance embodies the personal challenge and ultimate victory of staying strong in the midst of struggle and hardship. The piece is full of rhythmic energy and musical intensity, giving each section of the orchestra plenty of opportunities to shine. First violins also get to take things to the next level with string crossing patterns that sound really flashy, as well as some third position. Written with the intermediate-advanced orchestra in mind, this piece will excite performers and audiences alike.
