Pyare Bandhuwon.... Sangeet Premiyon....
Guru was perhaps the only male legend who not only lived through the change of music for five decades, but interpreted the music of a particular era in his style which remained immortal to this day. Even though Guru did not receive as many classical songs as Manna-da or Rafisaab, it cannot be denied that some of his songs were based on classical ragas. Whether the song was loosely based or strictly based on Hindustani sangeet, there are a good handful of songs worth noting: Bhairavi: Chingari Koi Bhadke Aaj Tu Gair Sahi Aate Jaate Khoobsurat Mana Janab Ke Pukara Sivaranjani: Mere Naina Sawan Bhadon Yaman Kalyan: Iss Mod Se Jate Hai Log Kehte Hai Mein Sharabi Hoon Salaam-E-Ishq ** Interestingly enough, both are two part songs (female sings solo first, and male sings solo from half point onwards, both are picturized on AB, latter half based loosely on Yaman Kalyan, with Puriya Dhanasri ang attached to it, both produced/directed by Prakash Mehra.)*** Aap Ke Anurodh Se Todi: Manzilen Apni Jagah Hai Bhimphalasi: Sa Sa Sa Sa Re Khilte Hai Gul Yahan Des: Mere Geet Adhura Hai Bihag: Zindagi Ke Safar Mein Guzar Jate Hai Jo Maqam Bagesri: Jivan Se Bhari Teri Aankhen Darbari: Pag Ghoongaro Baandh Charukeshi: Jab Chaha Yaara Tumne Misra Gara: Marne Ke Duwayen Kyon Mangun Kirwani: Yeh Raatein Yeh Mausam Bhatiyar: Ek Ritu Aye Ek Ritu Jaye Chandrakauns: Waqt Ki Heri Pheri Hai Bhupali: Dekha Ek Khwab To Yeh Silsile Huye Pahadi: Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh Man Mera Karvaten Badalte Rahe Krishna Krishna Bolo Krishna Khamaja: Teri Jeevan Gadi Yuhi Chalti Chale Bidhir Badhon Katbe Tumi Emon Shaktiman Koi Humdum Na Raha Jhinjoti: Ghungaroo Ki Tarah Maru Bihag: Aa Humsafar Pyar Ki Sej Par Misra Kafi: Jaane Jaan Dhoondhta ** the word "jaa" in "jaane" is actually the high Sa of the song. The entire raga fits the scale of Raga Kafi ** Ahir Bhairava: Apne Jivan Uljhan Ko Kaise Main Suljhaun Simhendra-Madhyama: part of "Tum Bhi chalo hum bhi chale" I can't think of anymore... Feel free to add to this. |

some comments on the previous posts done by raaga, Jagdish & nimii :
Aaye Tum Yaad Mujhe - in addition it has a mix of Bhairavi too Marne Ki Duvayein - Yes its a mix of Gara & Jaijayvanti Priye Praaneshwari - Mix of Kafi and pilu Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si - Many people say its Kirwani - but Archieda says its Bhairavi !!! guyz please help !! Roop Tera Aisa - in addition it has touches of hameer in the antara (mujhe na mili jo khushi…) & bihag (meet mera chheen liya) & tilang (itna sukh dena…) Aa Mohabbat Ki Basti - In addition it has a touch of puriya kalyan. (the concluding flute-piece where the komal rishabh is touched) Jagmag Jagmag - it is actually based on Malgunji - Archieda to confirm Kya Nazaare Kya Sitaare - It is actually a mix of rageshri & malgunji - Archieda help !! Dekha Ek Khwaab - actually its Pahadi Aapke Anurodh - its Yaman and not yaman kalyan ? Archieda please confirm Koi Humdum Na Raha - Jhinjhoti and not Khamaj - Archieda ? Pag Ghungroo - what is the second part of the song raag ?? KCP PS - all above info courtsey Archieda |

Firstly, let me tell you how I assign a particular raaga to a song. I used to watch sa re ga ma a lot (early days). They used to have a classical round where they mentioned the raaga when a contestant sang. Based on this, I try to relate the pattern of notes in another song so as to get an idea of what raaga it could be. I know this is NOT FOOLPROOF; because a subtle change in a note can give u a totally different raaga. Eg: Lalit and Todi are supposed to be very similar (except for a couple of notes: I dont know the technical details).
1. Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si (Remember it as Kirwani from Sa Re Ga Ma; because it was one of the rare Kishore Da songs sung in the classical round; the other being Mere naina based on Shivranjini). 2. Dekha Eh Khwaab (Even I think it is Pahaadi). Now talking about Ge Ge Ge Geli (Jhumroo); supposedly Malkauns..Yes, I have been trying to relate this one with (Man Tarpat Hari Darshan); a classic by Rafi Saahab in Malkkauns and do find traces of Malkauns in this jhumroo song  ..Now Malkauns is a classic devotional raga and this composition "Ge Ge Geli" is a song that belongs to comedy genre.I am just amazed by the genius composer in KishoreDa for this song...He composed this song in a raaga changing the intrinsic mood of the raaga itself. Atleast to me, I could have never dreamt that this song would be based on a devotional raaga..Too good KishoreDa  "It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure." -- Albert Einstein

I had missed this one earlier.....nice one from RB for a change
Regds KCP ------------------------------------------- Kishore Kumar’s 12th death anniversary falls on October 13. So 13 classics of his do I handpick here to invest this singer with a raag identity he was always grudged. It was in Raag Zhinjhoti that, as composer and singer, Kishore moulded himself via ‘Koi humdum na raha’ in Jhumroo. That was Kishore the singing-star on sonorous view. About his calibre as a playback performer, Dev Anand told me, only the other day, that, Hemant Kumar or no Hemant Kumar, Kishore suited his vocal persona best. And wasn’t it at his best we heard Kishore in the Pahadi idiom, on Dev Anand, with Lata Mangeshkar as presented by S D Burman through ‘Gaata rahe mera dil’ in Guide? Did Kishore, under the same S D Burman, sound ever fresher, in Pahadi, on Rajesh Khanna in that Aradhana duet with Lata: ‘Kora kaagaz tha yeh man mera’? Or is your personal leaning towards that third Pahadi duet of Kishore with Lata as composed by son R D Burman to go on Rajesh Khanna: ‘Karvaten badalte rahen saari raat hum’ (Aap Ki Kasam)? Pahadi certainly was a raag that sat pat on Kishore’s lucid lips – whether the number was on Dev Anand, or Rajesh Khanna, or Amitabh Bachchan. ‘Dekha ek khwab to yeh silsilen huye’ – this Pahadi duet, as composed by Shiv-Hari for Silsila lends verisimilitude to the idea that Kishore, vocally, empathised with Amitabh Bachchan as with no other. Kishore-Amitabh’s ‘Dekha ek khwab’ remains a Pahadi special keeping Rekha in voluptuous view. It was in the wake of Jaya, of course, that Rekha came into Amitabh’s life. All was hunky-dory before that, as the ‘reconciliing notes’ struck in the climax of Abhimaan by S D Burman, ‘Tere mere milan ki yeh raina’, underscored. This heart-stopping duet with Lata saw Kishore move into the Khamaj thhat. Into its base raag, Khamaj, itself. In fine fettle was Kishore on Amitabh in ‘Tere mere milan ki yeh raina. ‘ As in the Yaarana Amitabh solo: ‘Chhoo kar mere man lo kiya tu ne kya isharaa’. Wasn’t this one fashioned by Rajesh Roshan for Kishore, in his father Roshan’s pet Yaman mantle? The ‘Chhoo kar’ style of raagdaari was something right up Kishore’s alley. For instance, Kishore just glided through something veined as ‘Hum dono do premee duniya chhod chale’. This R D Burman-scored duet with Lata in Ajnabee, was it in Brindabani Sarang or Madhumati Sarang? By just half a note in Madhumalti Sarang! In a similar light, that Parichay blues-chaser written by Gulzar for Pancham, ,‘Sa re ki sa re ga ma ko lekar gaate, chalen’, found Kishore going into the Bhilawal thaat and then landing on Raag Bilawal itself. Short on classical knowhow Kishore might have been, but such was his vocal timbre that his voice took magnetic hold of our aural imagination. ‘Tere naina saawan bhaadon’, for instance, comes through as familiar enough Shivranjani, so long as it remains tuned by R D Burman to go, via Lata, on mehbooba Hema Malini. But, as further fine-tuned by Pancham, it becomes memorable enough Shivranjani for Kishore to have rated ‘Tere naina saawan bhaadon’ among his 10 best of all time. Kishore’s acid test came under the same R D Burman, as writer-director Chetan Anand insisted upon ‘Humen tum se pyaar kitna’ being in the taiyyar voice of Parveen Sultana. Only the RD art of extracting the finest tones from the supple throat of Kishore could ensure ‘Humen tum se pyaar kitna’ coming to us, in plausible Bhairavi, in the male voice too. Only where there was a classical track to explore, as in 'Paaayal waali dekh na’ (set in Maaru Bihag for Ek Raaz), did Kishore become nervy. But composer Chitragupta assured Kishore, here, that he could do it, if he gave it a real try. And not a bad try was ‘Paayal waalli dekh na’ for one who, as late as in Sunehra Sansar (1975), was in the featherweight ‘Hello, hello, kya haal hai’ duet with Asha Bhosle – to manage Naushad. ‘‘Kishore had the entire notation of the song literally on his finger-tips,” Naushad told me. And that is what saw Kishore kept his ‘original’ hand on the public pulse through the 40 years he performed in films. His imitators into the new millennium are legion, but the legend that is Kishore is a banyan tree under which no other voice grows! http://www.mid-day.com/bollywood/newsarticle.asp?newsid=662 |

But, as further fine-tuned by Pancham, it becomes memorable enough Shivranjani for Kishore to have rated �Tere naina saawan bhaadon� among his 10 best of all time. Kishore�s acid test came under the same R D Burman, as writer-director Chetan Anand insisted upon �Humen tum se pyaar kitna� being in the taiyyar voice of Parveen Sultana. Only the RD art of extracting the finest tones from the supple throat of Kishore could ensure �Humen tum se pyaar kitna� coming to us, in plausible Bhairavi, in the male voice too. Only where there was a classical track to explore, as in 'Paaayal waali dekh na� (set in Maaru Bihag for Ek Raaz), did Kishore become nervy. But composer Chitragupta assured Kishore, here, that he could do it, if he gave it a real try. And not a bad try was �Paayal waalli dekh na� for one who, as late as in Sunehra Sansar (1975), was in the featherweight �Hello, hello, kya haal hai� duet with Asha Bhosle � to manage Naushad. ��Kishore had the entire notation of the song literally on his finger-tips,� Naushad told me. And that is what saw Kishore kept his �original� hand on the public pulse through the 40 years he performed in films. His imitators into the new millennium are legion, but the legend that is Kishore is a banyan tree under which no other voice grows! http://www.mid-day.com/bollywood/newsarticle.asp?newsid=662 RD Burman told in filmfare interview of 1985 that Kishore Kumar is the most classically flexible singer in India.Indeed Kishoreda is the best in each and every kind of song. |
