A recording to make a beeline for. ║▀█ █▀║ - Ken Hunt, www.allmusic.com ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ This extended Alap (Jor & Jhala are later stages of Alap) is ║▀█ █▀║ especially compelling, illustrating the way in which Z. M. Dagar ║▀█ █▀║ (1929-1990) was able to plumb the depths of musical materials. In ║▀█ █▀║ Hindustani music, Yaman is often considered the raga by which the ║▀█ █▀║ great masters distinguish themselves, as well as the raga taught first ║▀█ █▀║ to beginners, and nowhere is the duality of this relationship more ║▀█ █▀║ clear than in the present performance. ║▀█ █▀║ - T. M. McComb, www.medieval.org ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ Raga Yaman: In Celebration of Love and Beauty ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ Raga Yaman is one of the most popular evening ragas, widely played and ║▀█ █▀║ sung. Our music directors down the ages have frequently drawn on this ║▀█ █▀║ raga to weave moving melodies. The time to sing this raga is right ║▀█ █▀║ after sunset; it evokes feelings of goodwill and creates the mood of ║▀█ █▀║ surrender to God or Guru or to the lover. ║▀█ █▀║ Again, Raga Yaman is used to convey descriptions of beauty. There is ║▀█ █▀║ no room for intense pathos in this raga. ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ - Munmun Ghosh, music.indya.com ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar, fondly known as Bade Ustad, was one of the ║▀█ █▀║ stalwarts of the Dhrupad tradition in post-Independence India. ║▀█ █▀║ He revived the majestic Rudra Veena as a concert instrument, modifying ║▀█ █▀║ it to enhance its tonal quality, resonance and sound sustenance, ║▀█ █▀║ adapting it to the subtle and expressive nature of the Gayaki. ║▀█ █▀║ Bade Ustad built a Gurukul at Palaspe, near Panvel. Traditionally the ║▀█ █▀║ teaching of Dhrupad is closely tied to the ancient system of ║▀█ █▀║ guru-shishya parampara. The students lived in the home of their Guru ║▀█ █▀║ and devoted themselves to riyaz (practice). The lives of the students ║▀█ █▀║ were focused on learning music and the teacher could supervise them at ║▀█ █▀║ all times. ║▀█ █▀║ Bade Ustad had a deep belief in the oral tradition of learning and an ║▀█ █▀║ understanding that music cannot be learnt through text books only. ║▀█ █▀║ In the past the teacher took care of the needs of student. This was ║▀█ █▀║ possible because of royal patronage till 1947. With the abolition of ║▀█ █▀║ the princely states, great artistes were suddenly left without ║▀█ █▀║ financial support. This prompted Bade Ustad to found the Ustad ║▀█ █▀║ Ziauddin Dagar Memorial Trust to help research this classical art form ║▀█ █▀║ and fund the Gurukul. ║▀█ █▀║ His untimely death in 1990 was a great loss to the Dhrupad tradition. ║▀█ █▀║ However the Gurukul continues its mission under the guidance of his ║▀█ █▀║ wife Smt. Pramila Dagar, younger brother Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar ║▀█ █▀║ (Chhote Ustad) and son Bahauddin Dagar. ║▀█ █▀║ The guru-shishya parampara therefore continues. As long as there is ║▀█ █▀║ someone to continue this oral tradition, this Gayaki that is thousands ║▀█ █▀║ of years old, will never disappear. ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ - www.dagar.org ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ ┌══════════════════════════════[ Tracklist ]═════════════════════════════┐ ║▀█ █▀║ : : ║▀█ █▀║ 01.
