This is a Hindustani Raga, much like our listening, that I found on Youtube. However, its main melody is in the flute instead of the sarod. You can hear both the tablas and tambura playing in the background. This piece is played by four famous Hindustani musicians: Ravi Shankar, Shivkumar Sharma, Hariprasad Chaurasia, and Amjad Ali Khan(we’ve mentioned two in class!). The description of this piece is meant to soothe or relax someone after a hard day at work, which I can definitely agree with. I chose this piece because I’ve been playing flute for the past 8 years now, and it was interesting to see the similarities in techniques and how the instrument was played.
