Algimantas Raudonikis has written more than 700 compositions of various genres, including about 500 songs, more than 100 dances, dozens of pieces for wind orchestra, piano, accordion, folk ensembles or solo folk instruments, and several symphonic opuses. He is arguably the most famous Lithuanian song writer of his time. Dozens of his songs, performed by the country’s best singers, choirs, and folk ensembles, have long become the extremely popular examples of the “modern folklore”. Melodious, sincere, lyric and optimistic, they stand in close proximity to the classical traditions.
