Programme Note

Ūkanos vėjyje skamba čiulbėjimu
Atspindžiai upėje virpa mirgėjimu
Vandenys nešasi pilni ošimo
Bangos mintimis skalauja krantus
Tam tie paukščiai, tam tos žuvys, tam tie laivai, tam tie žmonės
O prisimenu saulės aidus

Mists in the wind ring as tweetings
Reflections in the rivers shimmer as twinkles
Waters carry themselves full of rustle
Waves wash the shores with their thoughts
Therefore are those birds, therefore are those fish, therefore are those ships, therefore are those people
All I remember are the echoes of the sun
