DONIS & RASA SERRA. 2010 CD "Kas tave šaukia..."
Albumas skirtas ŽALGIRIO mūšio jubiliejui.
Lithuanian folk military-historical songs did not reveal an objective historical panorama. However, they have shown deep philosophical man's approach to life, optimism, love, and victory of nobleness and spiritual essence against suffering and destruction. That accounts for their greatness and value.
(Pranė Jokimaitienė)

Brother's farewell song (registered apprx. in 1963). The key motifs of preparing the boy for war are expressed concisely and quietly in the song: one sister dresses her brother, the other saddles up the horse, while the third lifts the gate and sees him off. The brother never returns as he is killed in the war. The horse brings the message about his demise.
