Pick of the weekThunder Dragon by Michael Story Published by Alfred.Buy/Listen: https://bityl.co/7IlW 
This work is based on a song from the southern Asian country of Bhutan. There are four contrasting variations that are meant to paint a picture of thunderstorms that cascade down the Himalayas. 
This piece opens with beautiful chant-like sections including an extended low brass feature right off the bat. The arrangement grows in layers as the piece goes on and grants a complex image of Bhutanese life.
