Typological Features of Balys Dvarionas’ Cinema Music in the Movie „Until It’s Too Late”

Summary/Abstract: The typological features of cinema music by the Lithuanian composer Balys Dvarionas are analysed in the article. Lithuanian musicologists have extensively studied Dvarionas’s symphonic, instrumental and vocal works. His music for cinema films, however, has not been thoroughly analysed from the musical or historical points of view. Deconstructing the musical soundtrack created by Balys Dvarionas for Vytautas Žalakevičius’ film “Kol nevėlu” (Until It’s Too Late), my article attempts to highlight the main typological features of the film’s music used to develop the overall dramaturgy of the film. The article takes a broader look at how types of music are /are not creating additional musical significance in the overall artistic context of the film.
