Do you mean that older bandishes in a particular raga contain features no longer associated with that raga as it is performed today?

They'd freely use the takhallus Manarang for some of their own compositions!<BR/><BR/>I recall a private recording where they claimed Manarang was the takhallus their father Vilayat Ali used. Be that as it may, I strongly believe the sons used it too.Abhik Majumdarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921264695439784161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-476496854441530272.post-58626419005295455812008-04-22T22:17:00.000+05:302008-04-22T22:17:00.000+05:30Nice piece, James.

Apart from the names you mentioned, Prempiya bandishes such as "main karii aavi piya sang ranga-raliyan" in Puriya and Sabrang bandishes such as "chhanD de mora anchara" in Kamod are sung across ghranas, often unacknowledged.<BR/><BR/>To add to the bit about Gunidas, he actually carried forward the admirable tradition of his guru Pranpiya. In turn, his disciple Gunijan was a worthy successor!<BR/><BR/>One curious case is that of S.N.Ratanjankar, who used to compose in his early days without a takhallus so as to pass off his work as "traditional"!Chetan Vinchhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12644552524848971107noreply@blogger.com
