Side One

  • Gat - Raga : Basant - Taal : Teentaal

Basant is a Raga Of late night variety. As its very name suggests, it is associated with the spring season. Consequently an atmosphere of complete abandon and liveliness pervades throughout its exposition. After establishing the basic structure of the raga with the use of Komal (Flat) Madhyama (4th note) in the Aroha (ascent), the maestro gives flourishing touches to bring out vividly all the salient features of the raga. The rhythm employed is Teen Taal consisting of a cycle of 16 matras (beats).

Side Two

  • (First Part) Gat - Poorbi - Dhun - Taal : Keharwa

This side has two items and each has a charm of its own. The Poorbi Dhun with which the side begins has its origin in the rich folklore of Uttar Pradesh and it is so enchanting that there probably is not a single concert where Bismillah Khan is allowed to wind up without rendering it. It is one of his trump cards with which he carries his listeners into a divine trance.

  • (Second Part) Gat - "Raghupati Raghav Rajaram" - Bhajan

The Second piece renders the popular and famous bhajan "Raghupati Raghav Rajaram' which was so dear to Gandhiji. The powerful melody of this sublime number flowing from the shehnai which had its origins in temple rituals of yore is truly overwhelming and constitutes the piece de resistance.
