Series: Axis Powers Hetalia Pairing: Prussia x Lithuania Song: "Falling Is Like This" by Ani DiFranco This video is so lame. But I don't care. I just needed some PrussiaxLithuania. Prussia and Lithuania have an intertwined literary history. East Prussia (especially the area called Lithuania Minor) had a Lithuanian population, and Königsberg was a center of culture. Lots of Lithuanian books were printed there, including the first one, Martynas Mažvydas's "The Simple Words of Catechism". A significant portion of Lithuanian literature was produced by educated Prussian Lithuanians, for example Kristijonas Donelaitis, the first Lithuanian poet. When Lithuania was part of the Russian Empire, printing of Lithuanian-language material was forbidden for 40 years and publishing of books and newspapers (including "Aušra", the first national Lithuanian newspaper) was done in East Prussia. As a literature geek, I totally find that cute and shipworthy. I DO NOT CLAIM TO OWN ANY OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THIS VIDEO. THE OWNER OF THE SONG IS GIVEN CREDIT. I MAKE NO PROFIT FROM THIS VIDEO, IT'S FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.

Established in 1959, today Ąžuoliukas (the lithuanian for a small oak tree) is undoubtedly one of the best known names in Lithuanias world of music. It is a unique combination of several choirs from children to men and musical schools, as well as an advantegeous environment that produced several dozens of famous musicians of the country. However, Ąžuoliukas provides the boys with much more than only the basics of music. Maybe that is why most of the members of this choir, without any doubt, will call Ąžuoliukas their school of life. The space that fully matures a child for a self-dependent life. Still, the basis of Ąžuoliukas existence is singing and music. Today Ąžuoliukas boasts 8 choirs with several hundreds of children, teenagers and men. Now it comes as no surprise when a father and a son go together to rehearsals and sing together on the stage. As representatives of different generations united by an unspeakable common state. They both are members of Ąžuoliukas. And they both will find it difficult for strangers to explain what is lying behind this word. Because to be a member of Ąžuoliukas is much more than only rehearsals and concerts, lessons and examinations of solfeggio, instrument and music literature. Long ago has Ąžuoliukas crossed the traditional boundaries of music education by becoming a peculiar forge of personalities leaving a mark to everyone who has had an opportunity to join the choir for some time. During 45 years there has been a great many music ...
