About Raag Shree

Raag Shree is a khayal performance in the Shree raga, rendered by vocalist Omkar Dadarkar. The track appears as the second composition on the album Raag Marwa & Shree, released in 2015 on CD. The recording spans 37 minutes and 30 seconds, showcasing Dadarkar’s interpretation of the raga through alap, jor, jhala, and bandish sections in the traditional vilambit and drut tempos.

The album Raag Marwa & Shree pairs two raga performances, with Raag Shree following the opening Raag Marwa. Dadarkar accompanies his vocal delivery with harmonic support, though specific instrumental collaborators or the recording label remain undocumented in available sources. The composition adheres to the structural and melodic conventions of the Shree raga, characterized by its use of komal re (flattened second), shuddha ma (natural fourth), and tivra ma (sharp fourth) in ascent and descent.

The release date of 2015 places the album within Dadarkar’s mid-career phase, a period marked by his exploration of lesser-performed ragas in extended formats. No additional production credits, liner notes, or alternate versions of the track are verified. The CD format suggests distribution primarily through physical media, though digital availability remains unconfirmed in public records.
