Dear Friends, While I fell in love with Man Chandre the first time I heard it... something else is disturbing me:
a) If you remove the ghattam, the unconvential rhythm, the high pitching by Sukhwinder - and just keep the song to simple vocals (and the tinkles) - then this song has ghazal as its foundation style (and not a folk style) - Correct? b) I'm dead sure that I've heard a similar Jagjit Singh ghazal - but unable to pin it down.... did someone else feel this as well? If so, can you point that out? Himalaya - again why do I feel that the note pattern (not same notes, but same pattern - something like mirror image if you may like) follow's Beethoven's Fur Elise? Again - did someone else notice or felt this? BTW - I'm not questioning anything here - just wondering if Rahman is playing/experimenting with established numbers and giving his own twist/version to it... types... I hope I get to ask Rahman this someday? :) In the meantime, the music gurus in this group can perhaps take a dig at these observation. ciao / Gopal Check out the all-new face of Yahoo! India.
