Classical/semi-classican Compositions That Inspired Film Songs, Companion to the Sangeet Ke Sitarey thread "Famous Songs And Thei Options

[abhayp]

In the Sangeet ke Sitarey forum, Faraaj has started a thread about film songs inspired by earlier songs. In many cases, the inspiration for a song is a classical/semi-classical bandish. This thread is meant for the longer classical and semi-classical pieces; I am starting it here so that classical music fans can also access these pieces easily.

The first piece being uploaded here is a "kajri" that inspired the famous Lata song from "Udan Khatola" - "more sai.nyaa.Njii utare.nge paar ho nadiyaa dhiire baho". It has been sung by many singers; the version being uploaded here is by the great Padmavati Shaligram (Gokhale) of the Jaipur Atrauli gharana. It is taken from a recording of a live concert where she also sang a wonderful Nand. The kajri is 18:16 minutes long and is encoded in mp3 at 128 kbps.

Next, we come to the famous thumri, "kaun galii gayo shyaam". Details and upload of its two film versions can be found in post # 46 at this link:

The recital being posted here is a live recording of Rasoolan Bai. As I said in the other thread, my (completely) untutored ears feel that there is a strong Jogiya element in her rendition of what is traditionally sung as a Khamaj thumri. Expert views are more than welcome!

The recording is 9:42 minutes long; the encoding is in mp3 @ 160 kbps.



(A short extract of this is included along with the film songs at the above link.)
