Daina (literally: ''song'') was a Lithuanian cultural organization promoting Lithuanian folk traditions and songs. During the Lithuanian national revival, several organizations committed to promoting and maintaining Lithuanian folk traditions were formed. The most prominent of these was ''Daina'', formed by composer Juozas Naujalis in 1899. ''Daina'' was registered with the Russian government in 1905, with the official purpose of being a church choir. Singers from ''Daina'' traveled across Lithuania, singing and communicating with like-minded Lithuanians. Daina's staging of ''America in the Bath-House'' and the choir's performance of several nationalist songs was a great cultural event that gave momentum to the nationalist movement, and ''Daina'' spread across the country. Violinist Mykolas Leškevičius was a part of ''Daina'' during this time. After suppression by the German authorities in 1915, ''Daina'' ceased all activities. Only a year later, however, Naujalis and Stasys Šimkus revitalized the society. Opera singers like Antanas Sodeika and Kipras Petrauskas performed during this time. == External links == (Short history of the organization. ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daina (organization)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
