Starting from the random phase approximation for the weakly coupled multiband tightly-bounded electron systems, we calculate the dielectric matrix in terms of intraband and interband transitions. The advantages of this representation with respect to the usual plane-wave decomposition are pointed out. The analysis becomes particularly transparent in the long wavelength limit, after performing the multipole expansion of bare Coulomb matrix elements. For illustration, the collective modes and the macroscopic dielectric function for a general cubic lattice are derived. It is shown that the dielectric instability in conducting narrow band systems proceeds by a common softening of one transverse and one longitudinal mode. Furthermore, the self-polarization corrections which appear in the macroscopic dielectric function for finite band systems, are identified as a combined effect of intra-atomic exchange interactions between electrons sitting in different orbitals and a finite inter-atomic tunneling.
