Winner: 1st prize, Lithuanian National Culture Center 2018 composition contest

Introduce your choir to Baltic folk music with this vibrant and accessible piece, based on an ancient Lithuanian part-song.

Sutartinės are traditional Lithuanian multi-part songs and have been recognized by UNESCO as ?Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity? in 2010. This piece expands upon a traditional Lithuanian sutartinė: ?U?augo liepa,? a story of a linden tree and a woman?s reverie.

The piece begins with a literal quotation of the original sutartinė and then takes you on an adventure ride, bringing the text of the story to life with a broad range of choral and pianistic colors, creatively expanding on the simple seeds of the source material.

Take your audience on a unique Baltic choral adventure!
