Raga : Bhairvi
Ustad Bismillakhan Ustad Bismillah Khan was born in a small village in Bihar about 80 years ago. He spent his childhood in the holy city of Varanasi, on the banks of the Ganga, where his uncle was the official shehnai player in the famous Visvanath temple. It was due to this that Bismillah became inclined for the Shehnai. At an early age, he familiarized himself with various forms of the music of UP, such as Thumri, Chaiti, Kajri, Sawani etc. Later he studied Khayal music and mastered a large number of ragas. Ever since Ali Akbar Khan and Ravi Shankar introduced Indian music to the West, a number of Indian musicians have been invited to perform abroad. It was therefore hardly surprising that a musician of Bismillah Khan's caliber should be one of them. The Government of India bestowed on him the title "Padmashri"; later he was further honoured by the title "Padmabhusan", and now the "Padmavibhusan" has been conferred on him. In-spite of being glorified in this manner he remained as modest as ever. When invited for a recording he always came without demur. Ustad Khan sahib has been conferred with "Bharat Ratna" award by the Govt. of India. नग्मा वोही जिसे रूह सुनें और रूह सुनायें

Ustad Bismillah Khan : Raga : Shivranjani
Raga Shivranjani is a very melodious raga and is sung during late evenings. As the name suggests, this raga is used to compose tunes to please the fearsome Lord of destruction, Shiva. This raga is extremely popular among instrumentalists. This raga is known to evoke the moods of romance and sorrow. Aroha and avaroha notes of the raga Shivranjani are very close to raga Bhoopali except that in raga Bhoopali, the GA note is shudha whereas in raga Shivranjani, the GA note is komal which is represented as lower case ga. Also vaadi and samvaadi notes are different in raga Shivranjani compared to raga Bhoopali. These differences set apart raga Shivaranjani from raga Bhoopali. Obviously, both ragassound totally different. Sometimes liberty is taken with raga Shivranjani and shudha Gandhar (Ga) may be used by some musicians. Raga Shivranjani is originally from South Indian Classical music later adapted in Hindustani Classical music. As per one expert vocalist in South Indian Classical music, the original Classical raga Shivranjani is a janya of Vachaspati, the 64th melakarta, which is different from the raga Shivranjani of Hindustani Classical music. But lately, in South Indian Classical music, this raga is being sung in a similar way as in Hindustani Classical music. In reality, raga Shivapriya or Shankarapriya of South Indian Classical music closely resembles with Hindustani Classical raga Shivranjani. There is a composition in this raga with the lyrics “Va velava” by late Dr. S. Ramanathan. Aroha and Avaroha notes and other attributes of raga Shivranjani as per Hindustani Classical Music are as follows: Aroha: SA RE ga PA DH SA Avaroha : SA DH PA ga RE SA (Note that raga Shivranjani has all shudh swaras both in aroha and avaroha except komal note ga. Hence all notes in aroha and avaroha except komal note ga have been shown in upper case. SA in bold letter indicates the note from Tar Saptak (third octave). SA with normal letters is from Madhya Saptak (middle octave). Raga Shivranjani belongs to Kaafi Thata. Thata is the parent scale of a given raga from which it is derived. Jaati: Odav-Odav (A pentatonic scale meaning 5 notes each in Aroha and Avaroha , excluding one of the SA's) Vaadi: PA Samvaadi: SA Varjya Swara: MA, ma, NI and ni In any raga, Vaadi is the most important note and Samvaadi is the second most important note. Every raga has its own rules for Vaadi and Samvaadi. Vaadi is the most dominating note in any given raga that is frequently used in the rendition of a given raga. Pakkad or bandishi are the most dominating notes of a given raga . Each raga has its own bandishi. Whenever a Music Director composes a song based upon a given raga, he makes sure that he uses the bandishi of that raga. This is the precise reason why two songs composed on the same raga sound similar. In a way, bandishi is a common factor within all the tunes composed on a given raga . While rendering a raga, one should be vary careful of not using varjya swara. Varjya swara in a raga are the notes, those are strictly excluded in rendition. Varjya swara is the enemy of the raga. If a varjya swara is accidentally used during rendition of a particular raga, it will spoil the atmosphere that a particular raga is supposed to create. So great artists do a lot of practice of a given raga so that they will never make the mistake of using varjya swara. नग्मा वोही जिसे रूह सुनें और रूह सुनायें

Shuklas,
would you please re-upload Shivaranjani by Steve Gorn ? Also, if you have any vocal performances in Shivaranjani, then those too. I love this wonderful raaga, what power it has to squeeze emotion out of the hardest heart ! Bibhas A science that does not deliver us to the portals of metaphysics is a failed science and a religion that does not embrace physics is not grounded in reality.
