Summary/Abstract: The article discloses the search for possibilities of developing national awareness in a changing world. In the context of globalisation, this is an acute and significant issue. We try to show it by underlining the peculiarities of the epoch shift in Lithuania. The epoch of Romanticism that was quite influential is stressed in the article, too. An analysis of Čiurlionis' life and aesthetic attitudes allows us to assess not only components of the native language, history and cultural cognition, which are significant for the development of national awareness, but also other stimuli like the native countryside, folk songs, the press and socio-cultural movements.
