ENIn this text, national style is treated as an aspect of the wider category of style. National style in M.K. Čiurlionis’ creative work can be conceived firstly in terms of spiritual qualities related to artist’s lyric nature. Folklore, as the most distinctive manifestation of national identity, had an utmost importance on formation and development of national style in M.K. Čiurlionis’ music. In early works by M.K. Čiurlionis, these connections with folk music were of a more intuitive nature. However, after his conversion to Lithuanian national values (ca 1904), which coincided with the period of intense study and harmonization of authentic Lithuanian folk songs, folklorism in Čiurlionis’ composition turned into a deliberate feature. Modernization of M.K. Čiurlionis’ individual style affected the national aspect of his style as well. His late works reveal the search for unconventional treatment of the folklore in modern composition, exploring the new ways to link it to the modern musical idiom. In effect, his national style evolved from romantic into modernistic. Unfortunately, M.K. Čiurlionis was not destined to mature his modernistic national style embodied in large-scale compositions (e.g., national opera, symphony). Nevertheless, his principal orientation, that sought to introduce the elements of Lithuanian folk songs (the ancient ones in particular) into the professional composition and to combine them with the modern means of expression, was programmatic and decisive for the whole development of Lithuanian professional music written ever after.
