Raga Bageshree Part 3

Raga Bageshree Part 3 is a track from the 1995 album Bageshree by sitarist Subroto Roy Chowdhury. The album focuses on the classical raga Bageshree, a melodic framework in Hindustani classical music traditionally performed during late evening. The label Tiptoe released the recording on CD.

The track appears as the third piece on the album and spans a duration of 7 minutes and 21 seconds. Roy Chowdhury performs on the sitar, accompanied by unspecified instrumentalists; the album credits do not detail additional artists or the tala (rhythmic cycle) employed. The composition adheres to the structural conventions of raga presentation, including alaap (unmetered introduction), jor, and jhala, though the specific segmentation of these phases in this track remains undocumented.

Bageshree represents Roy Chowdhury’s exploration of the eponymous raga, characterized by its use of komal re (flattened second), shuddha ma (pure fourth), and komal ni (flattened seventh) in descent. The album’s production context and recording location are not publicly specified. The track and its parent release contribute to the discography of Roy Chowdhury, a disciple of the Etah gharana and a practitioner of the gayaki ang (vocal-style) sitar tradition.

No commercial reissues or digital remasters of Bageshree have been confirmed as of the latest available records. The original 1995 CD remains the primary format for this recording.
