THE MUSIC
SIDE ONE: Raga Hansdhwani
Jai Maate Vilumbh Taj De
Ustad Amir Khan has sung raga Hansdwani, a popular
raga of South India rendering it in a purely North Indian style. It is a
pentatonic raga of the major scale in which the third and the sixth notes are
absent: do re mi so ti do (Oct) ti so mi re ti (low) so (low) mi re.
Khan Sahib has started with a Khayal of slow rhythm of
twelve beats called ektal, in a magnificent style in which intricate melodic
patterns have been rendered delightfully; a very happy combination of the
intellectual and the aesthetic. The solfa work have been done with wonderful
ease and poise.
After the slow Khayal Khan Sahib has taken up a
beautifully composed Tarana in a fast sixteen beats rhythm, the trital and has
rendered some difficult but highly attractive Taans.
SIDE TWO: Raga Malkauns
Jin Ke Man Ram Biraje
This is a very old traditional melody of a
pentatonic scale which runs like this: do mi (flat) fa la (flat) ti (flat).
Ustad Amir Khan has rendered the raga in a very serene and solemn style lending
the melody a devotional complexion. The unusual stress on the leading note
(which is flat) adds to the grave beauty of the raga. The conception and
development of the raga, as we have got it from Amir Khan, are far from what is
usually heard, and he has portrayed the raga in his own inimitable style with
solfas executed with fantastic elasticity.
He has chosen his favorite tala Jhoomra, the very slow
fourteen-beats rhythm for the first song and then towards the end he has passed
on to a fast sixteen-beats rhythm the trital. The concluding composition is a
very crisp one in which the artiste has taken up difficult Tan combinations.
