Naushad
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Naushad, the undisputed monarch of film music his life on the ensuing Christmas day. The journey from being a struggler in search of an identity in 1937 to being the god-father of film music was a long and eventful one. And though a restless crusader even Naushad can look back on-life with a sense of pride and fulfilment. Naushad in his days was widely acclaimed as a composer par excellence. To him music was more of a mission than a commerce. Even when he reigned supreme he never accepted more than one or two assignments at a time. As a consequence he composed only less than 700 songs in 70 films and othersduring the career spanning 60 years. But what is significant is that much of what he composed is still remembered and fondly cherished. The public adulations over the years have kept him in the news although he is no longer a part of the music scenario in films. It is his impact on the course of film music in his times that has made him unforgettable.
After he made his debut in Prem Nagar (1940) Naushad was first noticed in the film Station Master (1942) wherein he introduced 13-year-old Suraiya to sing and act in a juvenile role. In the same year, he tested his first big success in the song Panchhi ja peechhe, Raha hai bachpan mera (Sharda) and so did `baby' Suraiya. It was in this song that the matka (earthen pot) was used for the first time for rhythmic effect. The overwhelming success of Rattan (1944) catapulted Naushad to fame. In this film he popularised the folk music of UP (Ankhiyan mila kejiya bharma ke'/Milke bichhad gayi ankhiyan hai Rama) and earned the enviable reputation as a trend-setter. He introduced Mohamed Rafi in Pahele Aap (1944), and groomed Lata Mangeshkar (Chandni Raat/1949) which changed the face of film music. Naushad rose like a meteor amidst the highly creative composers of the time. When the film Baiju Bawra (1952) came his way, he proved the efficacy of the classical music by refashioning it to suit the time. His innovative use of the vibrophone in the song Mohe bhool gaye sanvariya lent a rare lustre to the sadness in the raag `bhairav', Baiju Bawra became a landmark film in the annals of film music and a high water-mark in the composer's career.

Naushad appeared in a new `avtaar' in the film Amar (1953). Though the film failed, the music left an indelible mark on listener's minds. His insistance on the use of the classical music in films eventually led to the establishment of Naushad Academy of Hindustani Music for the propagation of the traditional art. Despite his disenchantment with film music in the recent times it is not easy for Naushad to breakaway from the colourful past which earned him the epithet `Maestro with the Midas-touch'. His reputation mainly rests on the songs such as Dharti ko aakash pukare (Mela), Uthaye ja unke sitam (Andaaz), Milte hi aanken dil huva diwana kisika (Babul), and Jab Dil he toot gaya (Shahjehan).

The lyricist Manohar Iyer of the celebrated `Keep Alive' music group is making a determined effort to make a live presentation of Naushad's memorable melodies to celebrate the maestro's 80th birthday in his presence at the Dinanath Mangeshkar Hall. and get more awards

Hi
Thanks for an informative artcle on the maestro. He was really in a class by himself. I couldn't help but notice a mistake. Nashaad is a different composer. I think he ( Shaukat Dehlvi Nashaad) composed the music for Baradari (Year 1955). Any way this aricle does bring forth Naushad's great achievements in Hindi Film Music. Harjinder
