Meree Sangeet Yaatra - R D Burman - 16: Episode 9, Part 1

Resuming the series after a short, unplanned break. Though as much I fear that the absence might not have even been noticed, I will yet try to continue posting the remaining parts of the series, at regular frequency.

Today's part is about a lovely, exuberant, fresh and highly unusual (in terms of execution, and without much ado about it) song from Ijaazat - baarisho.n ke paanii se. One interesting thing that is discussed in this episode is the way, as Gulzar describes, a song's music creation process gives picturisation ideas to the director. On second thoughts, it might well have been an exclusive Gulzar-Pancham case.

The song in question, however, would present, even to a visually challenged a very descriptive imagery of a rain-soaked valley - just the music of it. Of course, those who have seen it on screen would find themselves inside the valley, even before the prelude is finished.

Enjoy.

Vinay

P.S.: I am also posting the Nagari Unicode version of the episode along.
