About Raag Mishra Shivranjani - Taal: Deepchandi
Raag Mishra Shivranjani is a track from the album Jugalbandi – II, released in October 2011 by Times Music. The composition spans 21 minutes and 49 seconds and follows the Deepchandi taal (rhythmic cycle). The piece serves as the second track on the album.
The recording features a collaboration between three prominent Indian classical musicians. Flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia performs on the bansuri, while Aashish Khan contributes on the sarod. Percussionist Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri accompanies on the tabla. The album adopts a jugalbandi (duet) format, though this track incorporates a trio arrangement.
Jugalbandi – II was issued in CD format. The release builds on the tradition of North Indian classical music, emphasizing improvisation within the raag structure. The album title suggests a sequel to an earlier collaborative work, though specific details about the predecessor remain undocumented in the provided context.
The track exemplifies the Mishra Shivranjani raag, a variant of the parent Shivranjani scale. The Deepchandi taal, characterized by its 14-beat cycle, provides the rhythmic foundation. No additional production credits, recording locations, or alternate versions are confirmed from the available information.
