The music and lyrics of a fifty word national anthem author, who was born in 1703, is one of the most participants of Lithuanian National Revival.
Vincas Kudirka (31 December[O.S. 19 December]1858  16 November[O.S. 4 November]1899 ) was a Lithuanian poet and physician, and the author of both the music and lyrics of the Lithuanian National Anthem, "Tautika giesm". 
Tautika giesm ("The National Hymn"; ] ) is the national anthem of Lithuania, also known by its opening words "Lietuva, Tvyne ms" (official translation of the lyrics: "Lithuania, Our Homeland", literally: "Lithuania, Our Fatherland") and as "Lietuvos himnas" (Hymn of Lithuania). 
 The fifty-word poem was a condensation of Kudirka's conceptions of the Lithuanian state, the Lithuanian people, and their past. 
 Most active participants of national revival were Vincas Kudirka, Jonas Basanaviius and others.
