"Zodiac XI - Sagittarius" is a musical composition by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, a renowned Lithuanian painter, composer, and writer. Born on September 22, 1875, Čiurlionis was a pivotal figure in the development of Lithuanian cultural identity and is celebrated for his synthesis of the arts. Although primarily known for his visual artworks, Čiurlionis was also a prolific composer, having written over 250 pieces of music.

The piece "Zodiac XI - Sagittarius" belongs to a series of works that Čiurlionis composed based on the signs of the zodiac. His interest in mysticism, symbolism, and theosophy often found expression in his art, and the zodiac series is a testament to his fascination with the cosmos and its influence on human destiny. The Sagittarius piece, in particular, reflects the characteristics traditionally associated with the astrological sign: optimism, a love for freedom, and an adventurous spirit.

Composed for piano, "Zodiac XI - Sagittarius" is characterized by its dynamic and expansive melodies, which capture the essence of the sign's symbol—the archer. The composition is part of Čiurlionis's later works, created during a period when he was exploring more complex harmonic structures and innovative forms. The exact date of composition is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been written during the first decade of the 20th century, a time when Čiurlionis was at the height of his creative powers.

Unfortunately, Čiurlionis's life was cut short by pneumonia, and he died on April 10, 1911, at the age of 35. His works, including the zodiac series, were not widely recognized during his lifetime but have since gained international acclaim. "Zodiac XI - Sagittarius" is now considered an important part of his musical legacy, offering insight into the composer's inner world and his quest to capture the ineffable through art.

The composition is performed and recorded by various pianists and is often included in retrospectives of Čiurlionis's music. It stands as a testament to his unique ability to blend the visual and auditory arts, creating a rich tapestry of Lithuanian cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
