Jonas Tamulionis (b. 1949) creative work has been often associated with several signposts: Spain, Japan, guitar, accordion and choir. Virtuoso, high-spirited, and often of very fast tempo pieces by Tamulionis, have already become a certain trademark of the composer. On the other hand, the composer cultivates polyphonic writing, contrastive development and neoclassical expression. In his own words, "I avoid either overdoing saccharin or dooming an opus that is impossible to perform or listen to, to dust in the drawer." His works have been published by Karthause-Schmüling, Eres Edition, Islas Canarias, Orphée, Santa Barbara Music Publishing, G.Schirmer. Recordings of his choral and instrumental compositions are featured on more than 50 CDs.
