Lietuvių liaudies dainos šiuolaikinėje muzikos erdvėje / Lithuanian Folk Songs in The Realm of Contemporary Music

Two well known Lithuanian composers Feliksas Bajoras and Algirdas Klova represent different generations. However both have created innovative music based in themes deriving from the Lithuanian folk songs. The work of each composer represents distinctly traditional way of performance as well as a unique merge of vocal and musical tones. Although the composers have a different experience of musical composition and style which they originate from the vocal folk tradition. By exploring and transforming old folk songs they prolong the ancient musical custom. This CD permits us to both promote composers important to the Lithuanian music, and present a unique attitude to the contemporary music through the interpretation of the ancient folk songs. © 2008 Darius Klišys
