Music in my eyes is the most beautiful creation of human souls. It reveals every emotion of human being..love, anger, hatred, adoration, affection… no human feeling or passion is untouched by this.
Rabindranath tagore is most probably the expert of exploring human emotions through songs. I have not heard another single person with such a splendour of talent.
I have listened to rabindrasangit for years, his music can mould your thoughts to purity. Whatever he touches becomes pure.. love, nature and devotion.
With his magical grip on pen he wrote song after song covering every emotion of human beart. The miraculous part was his choice of magical tunes for his songs. They fitted in perfectly. They enhanced the beauty of his already fabulous poems to the level of heavenly.
He was born amongst and surrounded with people of extraordinary talent. Who helped him in creating tunes for his songs but he always was a part of it, so it was his taste which reflects in all of them.
Whenever I listen to rabindrasangit this is the thing which overwhelms me, how can an artist be so perfect. Not only that, the singers whom he handpicked and trained to sing his songs are the most beautiful singers I have ever heard.. kanika banerjee, shantideb ghosh.. as if he left his soul in them.
Tagore left a magical legacy for us, who can understand his thoughts and lose ourselves in his music.

Sister, Thank you for writing about your love for music. But my present point of view regarding music is commpletely different. I like naturel sounds I hear in a place full of nature. I like sounds of moving rivers, sea waves, birds. I also like the sound wich I hear when I get an oppertunity to walk on dry leaves in a forest.
ReplyDeleteBtw thank you so much for sharing, my sister. I love to hear about the interests of my brothers and sisters.
I got really inspired by the way you write about your thought, your likings. I got so much inspired that, I have started a new blog of mine named "My Opinions My Views" http://my-opinions-my-views.blogspot.com/ .

Thanks for this post on "Rabindra Sangeet". This one added to the inspiration.

Agnitrisha,
ReplyDeleteI agree with u abt rabindrasangeet.It is the one which I can like to hear equivalently in both happiness and sorrow.U hit at the right point that only RS is the perfect suit for all emotions for its high range of spectrum.
trisha, I like 2 hear these 2 great singer u have mentioned, but I am also a fan of George da, Debobroto Biswas specially the songs belong to Puja and Prem Parjay ...
Ravi Thakur b4 50 and aftr 50 is totally diffrent.after 50 Rabindranath is said to as "Uponishader Kobi" ... perfect naming ... what an insight and realization of Life and Phylosphy he had.U know, what was his reaction after the expiration of his loved ones one after another ... He, the instance of inspiration ... His songs and He ... unseperable like Fire and its Heat ...
Thanks Agnitrisha for such a blog ...
By the way can u share ur favourite RS(top 5)?
Thanks,
Subhasis.
