Finno-Ugric?
Since when is Lithuanian music Finno-Ugric? Sure there are some shared elements in traditional music (e.g. Kanklės/Kantele), but this doesn't seem to make sense overall.--Theodore Kloba 14:45, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point... minor oversight. A little while ago, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian music were all part of the Nordic music box.  I thought they had more in common with each other and decided to switch them out (not only folk music, but in shared recent popular music history).  Since we're talking about music, I don't think we should hesitate to use regions that aren't quite the same as standard usage when talking purely geographically -- a musical region doesn't have to be within the same boundaries as a normal region.  But, this specific area is not my expertise, so feel free to move stuff around. Tuf-Kat 02:51, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess I'm not sure what to do: The issue is not just how Lithuania's music should be classified, since "Finno-Ugric" is a strictly classification of languages, not of musics or cultures.
 * It may not be a common system, but there are some google hits (Wikipedia doesn't appear to account for any of them). Tuf-Kat 21:09, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

The Rite of Spring
In Memories and Commentaries (page 121 of the paperback), Robert Craft claims in a footnote that the opening melody to The Rite of Spring is based on the Lithuanian national anthem (Stravinsky says it came from a book of Lithuanian folk music). At the time Rite was composed (1913), Lithuania was not an independent nation. The current anthem, while composed earlier (1896), was adopted later (1918) and does not seem to sound anything like Stravinsky's theme. Therefore, I wonder if some much older piece of music is being referred to. Richard K. Carson 05:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Notability: regional or international?
Your argument that Hiperbolė's notability is only regional (and should not be included?) is debatable. Music of Lithuania is a "WikiProject Regional and national music" project, so musicians and types of music notable in the country should be included, I think. Otherwise we would not be able to write about such phenomena as Sutartinės or folk songs, which are also regionally or country-wide notable.
