Good Trouble was written in memoriam to the great civil rights leader and congressman, John Lewis (1940-2020). Lewis was one of the Big Six leaders who organized the 1963 March on Washington, and he fulfilled many key roles in the civil rights movement and its actions to end legalized racial segregation in the United States. Lewis became nationally known during his prominent role in the Selma to Montgomery marches when, on March 7, 1965 – a day that would become known as Bloody Sunday – Lewis and fellow activist Hosea Williams led over 600 marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. At the end of the bridge, they were met by Alabama State Troopers who ordered them to disperse. When the marchers stopped to pray, the police discharged tear gas and mounted troopers charged the demonstrators, beating them with night sticks. Lewis's skull was fractured, but he escaped across the bridge to Brown Chapel, a church in Selma which also served as the movement's headquarters. Lewis bore scars on his head from the incident for the rest of his life.

This is a setting of Neil Young's SOUTHERN MAN (from the album AFTER THE GOLD RUSH) for woodwind 
quintet and optional percussion.
The song is chosen by the arranger as a reponse to recent confisions surrounding the poisonous
legacy of Slavery, and various questionable debates regarding its history in America.
Ironically, the arranger was originally ready to mention the song written as a response to this
song by the band Lynyrd Skynyrd, but found interesting information on Wikipedia (the links are
provided). Apparently the song by Young that spurred Lynyrd Skynyrd to write SWEET HOME ALABAMA
was the one titled simply ALABAMA, which is on the album HARVEST. Also interesting was the 
information that the bands and composers did get along, even showing this by wearing each other's
t-shirts when performing.
This arrangement is advanced grade 3 or grade 4, with no extreme playing in the outer registers,
or meter changes, etc.. The optional percussion can be added to create a more solemn-march feel.
The socio-political element is not varied or diffused in any way. If possible, the complete lyrics
should be contained in program notes. This piece offers a serious contemplation of the history and
horror of Slavery in America.
