Raag Gujri Todi

Raag Gujri Todi is a recording of the Hindustani classical raag Gujri Todi performed by vocalist C.R. Vyas. The track spans 22 minutes and 39 seconds and presents an alap-jor-jhala exposition followed by a vilambit and drut composition in Teentaal.

C.R. Vyas renders the raag in the Todi thaat, emphasizing its characteristic komal re and tivra ma swaras. The performance adheres to the gayaki of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, with intricate taan patterns and layered bol-baant improvisations. The recording date and label remain undocumented in available sources. No accompanying instrumentalists or tabalchi names are listed.

The composition begins with a slow, meditative alap that explores the lower and middle octaves. Vyas introduces the jor section with rhythmic pulsations before transitioning into the jhala, marked by rapid plucking-like vocal articulations. The vilambit khayal employs a traditional bandish, while the drut section accelerates with complex taans and sargam variations. The performance concludes with a brief tihai.

Gujri Todi is a morning raag traditionally performed between 6 AM and 9 AM. Vyas’s interpretation highlights its introspective and devotional mood, balancing technical precision with emotional depth.
