Raag Bihag - Brief Alaap

Shreedhar Ganapathy said

Sudha, Very nice of you to share the details of this raag, thaat, and present the alaap. A great start of a trend I can see :-) I think it will be a great idea to have a series of alaaps like you have done – I liked the start of the alaap and the end came too soon. :) You were just getting warmed up. Upload more. Great idea.

Cheers
Shreedhar

You haven’t enabled comments for your “Tere sur aur mere geet”. I liked it very much. In this piece I thought you could have recorded more. It was nice.

Like I already said, I admire you Sudha for your “outside the box” thinking :) Great concept sharing/learning. Here I have learned something!
Beautiful singing.

Sudha!! You never fail to impress in this genre as this happens to be your home-ground… Amazing breath control and flow… Phew!!! And the raagas and their names are greek and latin to me… Happy B’day and have a blast… :)
Thanks,

Sudha, great idea. One of my fav raag in both Hind & Carn, and I like Carnatic Behag more for I feel it brings out the softness and romance of the ragam better – I dont know enough to explain why though. Impressive sustains and strong lower notes too, Sudha.

Wah, Enjoying your divine rendition since morning though it’s a night raag…. What a great prelude to your B’day and what a way to start my week end:)
Some other songs that might be based on Bihaag:
1)Tere pyar mein dildar (Lataji)
2)Zindagi ke safar mein gujar jaate hain (Kishore da)

Wonderful vocals, Sudha!

The piece was lovely. Takes us into a meditative mood. I was almost ready to take a kamandalam but it ended soon :-). I loved it. I also agree that you always think out of the box. Wish to hear more such stuff from you.

thanks for uploading this didi
i got immense pleasure listening to it

Raag bihag is complex a bit coz there are several ragas which use both shudh madhyam and teevra madhyam….so one had to pay special attention on pakad or else this can sound like some related ragas like….yaman kalyan or hamir

you sung it very nicely didi…. really loved it

Sudha,

Very novel concept……liked it and the quietness it brought while listening……

Happy B’Day to you, though belated….

Music is my meditation…….Shailender

Swati Prasad (unable to be frequent) said

:D i know little bit about ragas

yeah pakad or swaroop actually keeps the raga in its original orientation. this a pattern in which raga moves. like…. Pa M’a Ga Ma Ga is a sign for Rag Bihag and Ni Re Ga M’a is a sign for Yaman which keeps the both raga’s individuality.
