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).

My Sonatina for wind quintet was written in January 2002. The three movements of the work (Moderato, Andante Sostenuto and Allegro con brio) are very much based in both structure and idiom on the classical tradition and gesture - the transformations in the first movement, everything kept in place in a tight classical form. The wind quintet's many commedia dell'arte masks are presented with humour, and the work recalls works from musical history where composers have been inspired by spontaneous popular gaiety. Anders Koppel, 2003.
