With the guidance of my guru, pt. Arijit Mahalanabis, this year I began the study of the beautiful instrument, the surbahār. This is my first attempt to perform a full piece, starting with the first rāga I studied as a vocal student. Please forgive all mistakes, and I hope you enjoy!
Presenting Rāga Alhaiyā Bilāval in the Dhrupad style on the Surbahar.
This presentation includes a full ālap, joḍ, and jhāla followed by a bandiś set to tāla cautāla. The composition comes from Kramik Pustak Mālika.
lyrics of the composition:
āja ko singār subhag sānvare gopālju ko
kahat na ban āve, dekhahī ban āve rī
bhuśan basan bhānti bhānti, ang ang adbhuta klāntī
laṭapaṭī sudes pāgh, citta ko curāve rī
makar kundal tilak bhāl, kasturī atī rasāl
citavan locan vishāl, kotī kāma lajāve rī
kanṭha sirī motīn māl, pheṭā kaṭī jhari dusāl
chabi nirakh nirakh ālī rī, dhiraj man lāve rī
