Lovely compositions, rendered ever so beautifully by my favourite artistes: Santoor - Pt. Tarun Bhattacharya, Flute - Pt. Ronu Majumdar, Saarangi - Ustad Liyaqat Ali Khan. I only wish, personally that in some of the compositions, the orchestration was not included - it seems to have taken away the magic from the melody.

LOL! Well... I am no magician, Sureshji

Just sharing what I have. And truly, you have always been most enouraging. Thank You.
Just wish to share these lovely treasures with those who do enjoy and appreciate Indian music.

Considering that this forum does not allow uploads, the best way to share them was through the shared sites. Everyone who'd like to download has access that way, and not worry about the download bytes ;-)

Rameshji, glad you liked them

Best regards
Bhavita

Bhavitaji,
What Raag is "Grief" based on?

I think this is based on a 'misharan" of ragas. At the begining it seems like it is Raag Jogia, then Raag Bhairavi and then Raag Kirwani. What do you think?

Best regards
Bhavita

I think from the perspective of scale, it was largely Kirwani. From the perspective of adhering to the raag-bhaav, they did an ok job of sticking to Kirwani in the alap section but during the rhythmic section, Kirwani only seemed to make a guest appearance. There were scalar visits to other ragas including Bhairavi, jogia/gunkali, nat bhairav but I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a name for it - perhaps the reason why they chose to omit it from the liner notes.
