"Cantinalia" is the concluding part of the three-part cycle on Latin festivities by Jēkabs Bernāts. "Cantinalia", roughly translated as "Song festival", marks a resemblance to the Latvian Song and Dance Festival tradition, and, indeed, this is a made-up festivity, which Romans, probably, never celebrated as Latvians do now. The text source, again Ojārs Vācietis, called his poem "Dziesmu svētki" - "Song festival" or "Cantinalia" if you will. The piece is a view of two contrasting musical materials, intertwined by the dramaturgy of the text, culminating with "And to keep the end further away, we come together to sing the same words."
