Daya Shankar - Shehnai - Raga Gujari Todi The Shehnai is the North Indian oboe. A double reed mouthpiece attached to a thin metal tube is fitted into the end of the instrument's body. The hollow wood body has seven fingerholes and is slightly flared, with a metal bell at the end. The ancestor of this instrument was the Persian surna or surnay, used in the outdoor court and temple ensemble called the naubat, which performed at fixed times of the day and for special events in medieval North India. The Shehnai, with it's unique penetrating sound is essential at weddings and other auspicious events and processions. The concert shehnai has a difficult and exacting technique. The slides and nuances essential to classical music are produced by partial opening and closing of the fingerholes, control of the lips on the reed, and varying pressure of the breath in the air column. Credit for bringing the shehnai to the modern concert stage goes to Bismillah Khan of Banaras (b. ca. 1908) after a debut in 1926. The concert format is traditionally a shehnai ensemble in which at least one player provides a background drone, and one or two others shadow the melody of the main player. The traditional drum for shehnai accompaniment was originally a pair of small hand-played kettle drums called khudrak, dukkar or duggi, but tabla is now commonly used. The music played on the shehnai is the alap-jod-gat genre which it shares with other Hindustani instruments: The shehnai now is a well-loved concert instrument. Gujri Todi is a mid-morning raga which has six notes, Sa Re Ga Ma Dha Ni (C Db Eb F# Ab B) in ascent and descent. Gujari Todi is also known as Gurjari is characterized by a repeated gliding movement between Re and Ga. The tonic Sa is avoided for several sequences of phrases and there is pronounced use of the predominant note Dha on which many phrases resolve. Daya Shankar learned the instrument from his father, well known maestro Anant Lal of the Banaras Gharana, and later from Sitar maestro Ravi Shankar. 2. Debashish Bhattacharya - Guitar - Raga Bairagi Western guitars have been known and used in India since at least the 19th century, and have been used in film and light music ensembles for several decades but the guitar was developed as a serious concert instrument in the last three decades or so by players in musical lineage of Ustad Allauddin Khan. Present-day Virtuosi such as Debashish Bhattacharya have helped make the guitar a popular concert instrument. The Hindustani concert guitar is tuned almost like a sarod. It held on the lap and plucked with metal right hand finger and thumb picks. Players have added sympathetic strings and drone chikari strings which have contributed to give the instrument a resonant tone and long sustain. Melody is produced with a metal slide held in the left hand. The guitar has the capability to produce both vocal-like slides and fast instrumental rhythms. Concert guitar players play in the alap-jod-gat format which they share with sitar and sarod. Bairagi is grouped in the Bhairav family of early morning ragas. Bhairav is a fearsome incarnation of the god Shiva. A Bairagi is a female ascetic or enunciate. Raga Bairagi uses a pentatonic scale consisting only of the notes Sa Re Ma Pa Ni Sa (C Db F G Bb C) in both ascent and descent. As in other ragas of Bhairav family, it's melodic movement is particularly characterized by
