Some of the most iconic songs, such as Dukh ke ab din beetat nahi, Vande Mataram and Baje sargam har taraf se goonj bankar Desh Raga are in Desh. He also includes the concluding portion of Tagores dance drama Shyama, which is one of the most poignant and beautiful compositions in Desh you can find anywhere. The classical pieces he has included  are recognised landmarks in these Ragas. How To Install Carbon Fiber Wrap Interior there. He combines his great taste in music with a precision in writing he has acquired from his training in Physics and Mathematics in IIT. AKFor my sixth article in this series I have opted for one of the most pleasing of the ragas Desh. Film Songs Based on Classical Ragas 7 Desh and Tilak Kamod. March 16, 2013. Fidget Spinner is a toy.

Along with it I also include its closely related cousin Tilak Kamod, because Tilak Kamod would perhaps not merit a separate post by itself, and the two go together quite well. Both these ragas have strong roots in folk melodies. Because of this they are often dismissed as minor ragas, which in my opinion is grossly unfair. Desh is classified as audav sampoorna. It means that it uses only five notes sa, re, ma, pa and ni in the ascent, while all the seven are used in the descent. All notes except ni are shuddha. Niis shuddha in ascent, but komal in descent. Let me illustrate the characteristic ascent and descent of Desh with the help of one of the most well known compositions the original version of Vande Mataram. I believe it was composed by Pandit Omkarnath Thakur. The first Vande Mataram takes us from sa to pa, and the second from ma to the upper sa. The entire octave is thus covered in this short movement. In contrast Sujala a a m takes a slow descent from komal ni via dha to pa while Suphala a a m takes us down from ma to re via ga. Rapid ascent and leisurely descent are the chief characteristics of this raga and make it very easy to identify, even for beginners. Playing with differing emphasis on the ascent and descent allows the composers to use this raga to express a wide range of emotions from agonizingly sombre to playfully romantic, as the selection of songs below illustrates. I have arranged the songs according to the mood from the saddest to the most joyous. In the process I have had to zigzag through the timeline.

Kidar Sharma, music by Timir Baran. This is the iconic song of Desh. The composer has used the slow descent of Desh to express the agony of separation from ones beloved in a manner that touches the listeners heart. Saigal has used Desh again in the opening part of Jeevan been madhur na baje but that song departs from the raga after the initial slow movement.

Meena Kumari 1st August 1932 31st March 1972, born Mahjabeen Bano, was an Indian movie actress and poetess. She is regarded as one of the most. Aayee ritu sawan ki by Kumari Faiyaz and Bhupendra from Alaap 1. Dr Rahi Masoom Raza, music by Jaidev. Bhupendra has been among the most underrated singers of the Industry. His voice can really haunt, as it does in this song. He is wonderfully complemented by Kumari Faiyaz. Internet search has unearthed a few more songs by this intriguingly named singer, but hasnt thrown up much information on her background, training etc. I would love to know more. Kadam chale aage by K L Saigal from Bhakta Surdas 1. DN Madhok, music by Gyan Dutt. We return to Saigal and the 1. It is no longer sad but reflective. One would like to forget the past and get on with ones life, but the mind defies control and keeps harking back. There is a tinge of regret, but with a philosophical attitude towards it. Phir kahin koi phool khila by Manna Dey from Anubhav 1. Kapil Kumar, music by Kanu Roy. Anubhav is a film I remember for several reasons. It was the first mature film that made sense to people of my generation. After this film I felt confident enough to leave my teens behind and count myself among adults. I would never forget Tanuja in what was perhaps her best role. The music director Kanu Roy will always have my gratitude for bringing my favourite singer Geeta Dutt back from oblivion sadly she passed away soon after. This song by Manna Dey has a quiet introspective mood and the composer has used the slower descending movements of Desh very effectively to bring this out. Sakhi ri chitchor nahin aaye by Geeta Dutt from Jogan 1. Pt. Indra, music by Bulo C Rani. The mood gets playful now. The words suggest separation, but the tempo of the song and Geeta Dutts voice create the ambience of light hearted romance. The mood is enhanced by Nargiss impish smile and fluttering eyelids. She has rarely looked as good as this. This film had several Meera Bhajans sung by Geeta Dutt. The composer Bulo C Rani would be remembered for this movie even if he had done nothing else in his career. Milne ka din aa gaya by K L Saigal and Suraiya from Tadbir 1. Swami Ramanand, music by Lal Mohammad. The playful mood gets stronger, with some good natured banter between Saigal and Suraiya. This song was a discovery for me while researching raga Desh. The composer has kept the descending movements short for creating the required mood. Gori tore nain kajar bin kare kare by Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhosle from Main Suhagan Hoon 1. Kaifi Azmi, music by Lachhiram. We now have a full blooded classical song with all the alaaps, taans and accompanying instruments that one associates with a classical performance. The mood is joyous and culminates in a dance. Both Rafi and Asha display their classical virtuosity, though one must admit that Asha has an edge over Rafi in this song. Would the actors in the song be Kewal Kumar and Nishi They are definitely not Ajit and Mala Sinha the lead pair of the movie.

Hasrat Jaipuri, music by Vasant Desai. I end the list of film songs in Desh with the most playful and happy song that I know in this raga. The opening parts of the stanzas depart considerably from the raga, but the song keeps returning to it. Overall the impression is very much of Desh. There is something intriguing about the picturisation of this song. Sandhya is apparently upset with Gopi Krishna. She is telling him to go away and not to talk to her or bother her. However, all this while she continues to pamper him. In the interest of mankind I would wish all women would learn this important lesson and behave with us like this when they are upset I now move to Tilak Kamod. Like Gorakh Kalyan, which has nothing at all to do with Kalyan, this raga too has no relationship whatever with Kamod one of the ragas I had covered in the fourth article of this series. I remember a simple recipe for playing this raga given by a music teacher play Desh, but keep breaking its rules of ascent and descent. In a sense it gives greater freedom to the artist as compared to Desh. Surprisingly this greater freedom does not result in a greater expressive range. We have seen the range of moods Desh can express. Tilak Kamod, on the other hand, has a narrow range, falling somewhere in the middle of Desh it is neither very sad, nor as joyous as Desh can be. Within its narrow range, however, it can be incredibly beautiful as the four songs below illustrate. Thandi thandi sawan ki phuhar by Asha Bhosle from Jagte Raho 1. Shailendra, music by Salil Chowdhary. This song is my personal bonus for writing this article. I had seen Jagte Raho years back but didnt remember this song.
