Hommage à Čiurlionis/ Vidmantas Bartulis
The composition Hommage à Čiurlionis, created in 1995, does not follow traditional lines and is modern in many other ways. It is possibly the first such project in the history of Lithuanian discography. The composition exists only on this record, and consists  of three separate musical layers. Electronically modified fragments and motifs from various compositions by Čiurlionis from the base; the secondlayer is made up of live recordings of music by Čiurlionis (folk songs for choir, preludes for piano,and the symphonic poem In the Forest); and the third of improvisations by the saxophonist Petras Vyšniauskas (only the third part of the composition is available in written form).
The music is full subtle impressions and melancholic sound. Sometimes these improvisations explode, revealing unexpected qualities. The composition Hommage à Čiurlionis is very typical of Vidmantas Bartulis. It also shows some of the major features  of Čiurlionis’ outlook – mystery, an understanding of eternity, the harmony between man and nature, and the never-ending anxiety of man.
