SPECIAL ISSUE OF LITUANUS

12th November 2006

Special Issue on Lithuanian Folk Songs
CD included: "Transformation of Lithuanian Song" This CD of Lithuanian folk songs is representative of various regions and dialects of Lithuania. It includes sutartinės - polyphonic chant - an archaic and distinctively Lithuanian singing style. The CD is a compendium of Lithuanian folk songs, some originally recorded in the 1930s, showing the transition of folk songs to modern and classical adaptations. The accompanying articles describe the development of Lithuanian song. One article focuses just on the sutartinės and their place in Lithuanian music. Another one examines the role songs played in the post WWII Lithuanian resistance movements. Also reviewed is the history of Lithuanian-American singing traditions and their major choral events and song festivals during the last century. Song Issue and CD still available for new subscribers A years subscription is US$20 plus $5 for mailing outside the US and Canada. Visit our website at www.lituanus.org and browse our archives of past issues. Send subscription to: LITUANUS 47 W. Polk St. Suite 100-300 Chicago, IL 60605 USA |

The Lithuanian Reference Library
|
|
|
The Lithuanian library in Tasmania is the only collection of Lithuania-oriented books operating inside a university,
anywhere in Australia or New Zealand. It is housed separately from other libraries in the University`s School of
Government, on the main campus of the University of Tasmania in Hobart - Sandy Bay. It was officially opened on
November 25, 2005, with 1,000 books and journals.
This unique collection of Lithuanian reference materials has been put together over the past 18 years by the Universitys Lithuanian Studies Society. However, more new titles are still needed, to make this Lithuanian Reference Library comprehensive and unique. This is why the founders of the Library are appealing to the Lithuanians living in Australia and beyond, to come to their help and donate more books. |

|
YOU are invited to donate such books and send them to: LSS (Lithuanian Studies Society) at the University of Tasmania Post Office Box 777 Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7006. Every donation, big or small, will help more readers to discover Lithuania and its people.

LITHUANIAN STUDIES SOCIETY
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA |
30th October 2005
|

The Societys latest book (in English), LITHUANIAN STUDIES IN AUSTRALIA, will be published before the end of
November, 2005. LITHUANIAN STUDIES IN AUSTRALIA is an historical 200± page record of repeated efforts to introduce
Lithuanian courses into Australian universities. The author, Dr Algimantas Taškūnas researched these developments
over the past 40 years and has discovered how Lithuanian studies can be widened in Australia in future. The book does
not stop at that. LITHUANIAN STUDIES IN AUSTRALIA also contains a wealth of other information on Lithuania and its
people. Australian Lithuanians of all ages and their friends, or even complete strangers interested in Lithuania, will
find a great deal of essential information in this book: a brief history of Lithuania; two maps; extensive reports on
Australian Lithuanians and their achievements; up-to- date data on present-day Lithuania; and a comprehensive
bibliography. LITHUANIAN STUDIES IN AUSTRALIA is a major contribution to our knowledge of Lithuania and the Lithuanian migrants in Australia, because no academic study has been published in this field, to date. It will sell at $29.95 plus $3.55 postage. For early orders until 15 November, 2005, the price will be $25 a copy, including postage. You may order by post: LSS, P0 Box 777, Sandy Bay, Tas. 7006; or by E-mail: A.Taskunas@utas.edu.au Telephone (03) 6225 2505 |
