Raga Voyage

{meditative alap opening, authentic double-reed tanpura drone,

solo expressive bansuri flute playing ornaments,

very sparse acoustic

harp accents} {gentle rhythmic flow,

soft tabla entry in rhythmic tala cycle,

bansuri continues melody, warm orchestral string pad begins to swell gently} {sarod

and shehnai dialogue,

noble

and brass-like calls, steady tabla rhythm,

subtle oud textures, expansive french horns in the background} {rhythm drops to

a minimal pulse, warm

solo

bansuri

returns with elegant slides,

quiet sustained string section,

delicate acoustic guitar or harp} {restored gentle tala cycle,

full but soft orchestral texture,

bansuri

and

sitar unison melody, warm

brass, peaceful and satisfying conclusion}
