Rabindra Sangeet – Tagore’s Own
Rabindra sangeet is a separate system of music close to the heart of every spirited Bengali. It is a complete range of lyrical poetry and songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore. The unique feature of this stream of music is that different elements of Indian Classical music have been infused to weave a kind of music in an entirely new, yet enchantingly intelligent fashion.
The ragas from pure classical music have been re-defined to bring out emotions and expressions to their completeness. In doing so, Tagore has made use of unexplored nuances and sometimes strayed a bit from the raga itself, but ultimately reaching the destination of sublime melody.
The themes of the songs in Rabindra sangeet are so broad and varied that they embrace human emotions from the mundane to the absolutely aesthetic. As a result, a layman and a well-educated and affluent person could both equally enjoy this music and theme. These songs are treasured as artistic invaluables in India and Bangladesh alike.
Rabindra sangeet has now evolved into a distinct stream of music with talented patrons to uphold its golden legacy. Like any other classical art form, Rabindra Sangeet requires an intellectual and contemplative mind in order to appreciate its lyrical beauty. This music has now found a unique position within the mainstream Hindustani classical music, the trend being set by the great stalwarts of music like Ustad Vilayat Khan Sahib.
Tagore’s music, however took its own time to be accepted and accepted in its right sense among music critics and orthodox practitioners of the existing classical music. It has now many students coming to it, the worshipped gurus being Pankaj Mullick, Debabrata Biswas, Subinoy Roy and Kanika Bandhopadhay.
