Johann Strauss Sohn

Thunder and Lightning polka

op. 324

Written in 1868, Unter Donner und Blitz is one of the most popular, and the noisiest, of all of Strauss' dance pieces, evoking the sound of thunder and lightning through incessant timpani rolls, cymbal clashes and bass drum thunder claps. This sparkling new arrangement is sure to prompt thunderous applause!
