Year of the Dragon by Luke Flynn (b. 1988). Piano solo:
Year of the Dragon depicts the intensity of the Chinese Zodiac’s 2012 calendar year; it begins with a beautiful, tranquil, and melodic feel, primarily based on Chinese pentatonic scales. As it progresses, it gains intensity, twists, and transforms with octatonic scales and numerous different variations of pentatonic clusters as it reaches its explosive ending.
