Side One

• Raga 'Shree'

Alap, Jor and Jhala followed by a Gat in Jhaptal, Raga Shree is believed to be one of the most important, basic Ragas of the Hindustani system. Its character is very serious. Raga shree is known traditionally as an early evening Raga. The Second and Sixth notes are raised (Sharp or Tivra). One of the most distinguishing factors about this Raga is that the Second note is 'atikomal' which means that it is more flat than usual. Some people say that the Sixth note should be treated in the same way. The ascending structure omits the Third and Sixth notes.

Side Two

• Raga 'Sindhu Bhairavi'

SINDHU BHAIRAVI is one of the most popular Morning Ragas. This item opens with an Alap in Thumree style, whiich in this instance is done in the Ao-Char Alap style. meaning that only a quick survey of the raga is given in order to present the mood. Gats are presented in Dadra and Teental (both compositions of Ravi Shankar) and the item ends in a fast jhala.
