As Carnival Youth participant Roberts Vanags remembers: “When we started to select the repertoire for this concert program, we asked our friends and relatives what are their favorite Latvian film songs. My mother especially highlighted one of her lovers – Raimonds Pauls’ “Ances romance” from the movie “Klāvs – Mārtiņš son”. None of us had seen this movie at the time, but an emotional song was heard somewhere in the ear. Now a new arrangement has been born for this song – in an energetic range. The message of the song is very melancholic – the beautiful love experienced, like everything in this world, is not eternal. After the sweet flowering summer, autumn arrives and “now the leaves are falling like tears”, she sang the main character Elza Radziņa. “
The recording of the song “Ances romance” performed by Carnival Youth was produced by Gatis Zaķis and it was created with the funding of the “LaIPA” scholarship.
A text video has also been created for the version of the song “Carnival Youth”, in which, with the blessing of all the authors, footage from the film “Klāvs – Mārtiņš son” by director Oļģerts Dunkers can be seen. The creative team of the company “Creators 22” worked on the text video and the archives of the Latvian State Archive of the Latvian State Film and Photophono Document were used in its creation.
