Ranaar Chhutechhe

June 24, 2018
1950-59, Bengali, Sargam

Sargam for Bengali song “Ranar Chhutechhe”. This is actually a heart wrenching poem written by Sukanta Bhattacharya depicting the hardships in the life of a Postman who was called as “Runner” by Britishers in olden times. Singer and Music Director : Hemanta Mukherjee, who did full justice to this poem with his amazing composition and devine voice. Let’s enjoy playing this one on flute and other instruments. I am producing the Sargam notes on my C scale flute.

CAPITAL LETTERS = Shuddh Swars (Natural Notes)
small letters = Komal Swars (Flat Notes)
M with # [hash] or ^ [exponent] = Tivra Madhyam (M# / M^)
Letter/Alphabet ONLY = Medium Pitch/Normal blow on flute
Letter/Alphabet PRECEDED BY a ” . ” [full stop] or a ” , ” [comma] = Low Octave Note/Softer blow on flute
Letter/Alphabet FOLLOWED BY a ‘ [single quote] = High Octave Note/harder blow on flute
Notes in { } = “murki” have to be played very fast without any pause
A Note in ( ) = “kann swar” has to be just touched before moving on to the next note
A “~” between two Notes = “meend”. That is, you have to glide from one note to another slowly to produce that wavy effect.
Few “….” (dots) after a note = Play and hold that note
