The work was written for the centenary of the birth of Czesław Miłosz, and played for the first time on June 26, 2011 during a concert in the Witold Lutosławski Concert Studio of Polish Radio. The premiere was given by the Warsaw Camerata orchestra, conducted by Paweł Kos Nowicki. The composer himself said about the piece that it is an ''attempt to capture the essence of 'Lithuanian-ness' with its archaic melody and insistent repetition of rhythmical or melodic formulae.'' He tried to convey his own feelings, therefore a translation in sound images that Czesław Miłosz captured so poetically in words. The piece begins with a calm ostinato theme for solo cello which is put through different transformations. The texture gradually thickens and the second phase of the piece brings refreshment and the climax of the musical narrative, followed by calming down in the coda.
