Raga Bairagi - Introduction chords by Shivkumar Sharma
Verse 1
F#m
Good morning friends.
G
G
As you are told, this is a very rare concert.
F#m
Em
We hardly get a
time to play morning ragas.
G
F#m
As North Indian classical music
Em
has got a time theory,
G
Em
each raga has got a specific time of the day,
G
Em
early morning, afternoon, late night.
G
F#m
F#
So it's nice to play a morning concert.
G
I'm going to play a morning raag,
Bm
Em
which actually is played quite early,
G
Em
but anyway the
G
Em
name of the raag is Bairagi.
G
You see one common factor
Em
with all the morning raagas
G
is that they convey a mood of meditative,
Em
E
G
Em
invocative mood, very serene.
G
Bm
And when we talk of the mood,
F#m
G
you can feel that when the solo
Em
improvisation
G
which is called alaap is being played
Em
G
because the whole idea of playing alaap
F#m
G
F#m
is to un fold the melody note by note
Em
to create a sound picture of the raag.
G
And you can feel it during the alaap
F#m
portion especially.
Em
G
Of course, the mood remains the same
E
when tabla joins,
G
but then it adds a different
Em
dimension to that part.
G
Em
So, after the alap,
G
I shall be playing three
compositions
F#m
F#
in the same raag.
Bm
G
The first composition is set to matta taal.
This is a nine -beat rhythmic cycle,
Em
E
Em
a very uncommon rhythmic cycle,
G
followed by a composition in teen taal,
F#m
G
or 16 beats in medium tempo,
then ending with a faster composition
which is set to 8.
