- Abstract
The article focuses on two war compositions written in two geocultural spaces representing Cold War ideological confrontations, viz. Sinfonia de la Guerra (1940) by Vytautas Bacevičius, composed in Buenos Aires, and the oratorio Don't Touch the Blue Globe (1969) by Eduardas Balsys, composed in Soviet Lithuania. Analysing the strategies of war imagination in Lithuanian compositions and discussing them in modern war music's context, the author explores an interaction between traditional topics (military, pastoral etc.) and modern stylistic idioms. Both compositions demonstrate variety of intertextual strategies and differences of resemantization characteristic of first and second musical modernism. This is linked to the observations of changes in war narratives and post-war cultural memory. After a discussion of the the controversies in the national and international reception of the compositions in question before and after 1990, the trends of re-contextualization of the Lithuanian composers are highlighted (musical and extra-musical connotations, the aspects of recognition and deliberate silence, and sociocultural and sociopolitical dissonances) with reference to the impact of cultural and political processes.
