Harmony Kirtan Chant

{intimate harmonium invocation, warm ambient pad,

light hand bells, male lead warming up}

(Ooh) Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami {mridangam enters with a driving groove,

kartals playing steady 8ths}

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami {soaring call-and-response,

mixed devotee chorus joining,

handclaps}

Govindam adi purusham tam aham

bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham

bhajami {groove stays steady but slightly dialed back,

sweet acoustic string pads}

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami {full celebration,

vibrant and ecstatic delivery}

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami {percussion slows to a sustained half-time

feel, beautiful vocal call-and-response}

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham

bhajami

Govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami Govindam adi purusham tam

aham

{climax, energetic tempo rush feel but keeping tempo,

joyous shouting-style response}

Govindam adi purusham

tam aham

bhajami {gently fading instruments,

leaving only the solo

harmonium and male lead voice,

hand bells ringing

out}
