Bartulis was one of a group of Lithuanian composers who, during the 1970s, established a compositional movement characterised by emotional expressiveness, clear and accessible musical language and an avoidance of modernistic trends. He also has considerable experience as a composer for the stage. This combination, together with the subject matter of his Requiem (those who died for Lithuanian freedom, as well as the general meaning of the liturgical requiem mass), leads inevitably to a work of considerable substance and power. Predominantly dark-hued and elegiac, with sections of almost operatic drama, the work follows the basic outline of the liturgy, in a language which is grounded in tonality with a highly individual sonority and characteristic widely-spaced textures. Massive and granitic, the work generates an implacable momentum, and makes a profound cumulative impact.
