OK this was fantastic from the very beginning (the 7/8 was super cool) but when the 4/4 hit my jaw dropped and remained on the floor for the rest of the piece. This is so cool. I'm gonna have so so much fun with this at honor choir this weekend.

[@AaronBravo9]

[@chitra0828]

Just cant understand WHY Mr. Sperry had to mess with the raagam. An interpretation of a raagam/scale doesn't change the framework of the notes but plays with how the notes are placed in any run. Mr Baskaran isn't wrong or dumbass to critique it at all! I dont think any western musician would mess with the scale of a major composition would he/she?

[@YashwantMusic]

To call this Desh is blasphemy. It contains a Minor 6th which Desh does not have. Plus, I don't seem to get the real feel of the raag. But having said all that, it was still nice!

[@Lehmannation1923]

The arranger kinda did that, but he also made is awesome

[@YashwantMusic]

I bet you don't know what a raga is dumbfuck. Interpret it however you want to, but don't use the wrong raga names.

[@savantdude]

+jamaq maybe an interpretation..but its not even close to desh!

[@4141ca]

whats the name of the original song

[@Swordsonian]

The second half (the fast portion) seemed to do the raga justice i feel, it had the classic desh usage of sa, re, ma, pa, ni, sa, and then the flattenging of the "ni" for the decension

[@4141ca]

not a 100 % reps of the raga system but a amazing song Hats off (Y)

[@gabrielwalker94]

You guys should listen to the Texas All-State choir sing it! I was in that choir!

[@LimitedCoherence]

Radiohead bear. Nice.

[@alexiablair]

This does not do the song justice

[@VSNarasimhan]

Absurd to call this "Desh" Rag!
