A New Composition, on the First Day of Spring

[ramakriya]

Today is the first day of the spring. Although Indian new year day celebration should coincide with this event, it doesn't do so always due to some historical, and astronomical reasons. Anyway, discussing that is outside the scope of Rasikas.org! But I thought it was a good day to share something with you all.

Please click the link to a short ramble, followed by a recording of my composition: http://neelanjana.wordpress.com/2012/03 ... of-spring/

Rasikas has been a great place of learning and inspiration for me, and I am very glad to be sharing this with you. It is sung by "Arvind", also known as Indian Music Fan. His website is http://www.aboutindianmusic.com/

It's just a coincidence that the composition is also in the rAga rAmakriya . I look forward to your comments and feedback.

Nice piece ramakriya. Structured like a 'raga pravaham' composition of Ganesh Kumaresh. In fact, I think it will sound better as purely instrumental piece!

Thanks Mohan. Yes, I sort of meant it to be an instrumental piece too.
