Introduce your choir to Baltic folk music with this vibrant and accessible piece, based on an ancient Lithuanian part-song. This award-winning piece was performed at the 2024 Lithuanian Song Festival by the combined choir of 11,000 singers, and is widely known and loved by treble choirs throughout Lithuania. Repetitive text and frequent use of vocables ("dautuvo, ratilio") make the Lithuanian language accessible to non-native speakers, and the intuitive, energetic part-writing and artful piano accompaniment will make this piece a joy to learn and perform for your ensemble. Note: This abridged, festival edition is thoughtfully shortened from the original composition, and ends on a strong, impressive high note. The extended version is also available. Take your audience on a unique Baltic choral adventure!
