Binati Suno Mori

Binati Suno Mori is a khayal composition in the raag Jaijaiwanti performed by Hindustani classical vocalist Prabha Atre. The recording spans 14 minutes and 37 seconds and exemplifies the vilambit (slow tempo) and drut (fast tempo) sections characteristic of the khayal form. Atre renders the piece in the Agra gharana style, marked by intricate taan patterns and emotive phrasing.

The track features traditional accompaniment with tanpura drone and tabla percussion, though specific accompanying artists remain undocumented in available sources. The composition’s lyrical content follows the binati (supplication) theme, a common motif in classical bandishes where the singer appeals to the divine or a beloved. The recording date and original release label are not explicitly verified, but the work aligns with Atre’s repertoire from the late 20th century, a period when she actively recorded and performed raag-based albums.

Atre’s interpretation of Jaijaiwanti in this track emphasizes the raag’s shuddha dhaivat (natural sixth) and komal gandhar (flattened third), adhering to its traditional chalan (melodic movement). The alaap section precedes the composed bandish, gradually unfolding the raag’s contours before transitioning into the rhythmic khayal structure. The performance concludes with a series of improvisational taans, showcasing Atre’s command over layakari (rhythmic play) and meend (glissando).

While the exact release year of this recording is unconfirmed, Atre’s rendition of Binati Suno Mori appears in compilations and archival collections dedicated to her contributions to Hindustani classical music. The track serves as an example of her scholarly approach to raag interpretation, blending technical precision with expressive depth. Further details on the recording session, production credits, or commercial release format are not publicly accessible.
