Music: Madan Mohan

Recording: original

Metadata references

Release and credit references do not establish a raag or taal attribution.

Sources differ: Basant Bahar influence and Mian Ki Malhar influence are separately reported. RagaPedia has not resolved this difference or verified a multi-raag treatment of the recording.

Reported raag

Basant Bahar

Not yet reviewed by a musician

A named writer on music analysed the song in this raag as an influence rather than a strict identity. This records what the source says; a musician has not checked the recording note by note. The source quotes Vishwas Nerurkar, Madan Mohan: Ultimate Melody.

Evidence: Named musician's analysis · Suneel Kumar Gupta, doctoral thesis on Madan Mohan (Banaras Hindu University, 2015), ch.7, printed p.342 (PDF p.6)

Source wording: “सितार का अविस्मरणीय प्रयोग, बसंत बहार के सुरों की छाया, अद्भुत कम्पोज़िशन और अद्वितीय गायकी ‘वो चुप रहें’ को मदन मोहन की सर्वश्रेष्ठ ग़ज़लों में से एक बनाते हैं।” · Applies to: influence
