Raga Saraswati - Khayal Vilambit Ek Taal - "More Man Bhaaye" - Khayal Drut Teen Taal - "Tum Bina Suna Sab Sansar"

Raga Saraswati (The Genius Of Ustad Rashid Khan, 2010) is a khayal performance recorded by Ustad Rashid Khan and released on the compilation album The Genius Of Ustad Rashid Khan. Saregama issued the album on CD in 2010. The track spans 28 minutes and 30 seconds as the opening piece of the release.

The composition features two sections in the khayal tradition. The vilambit (slow-tempo) segment employs Ek Taal and presents the bandish More Man Bhaaye. The drut (fast-tempo) section shifts to Teen Taal with the bandish Tum Bina Suna Sab Sansar. Rashid Khan renders both segments in Raga Saraswati, a melodic framework associated with the late morning or early afternoon in the Hindustani classical tradition.

The album compiles selections from Rashid Khan’s career, though specific recording dates and accompanying artists for this track remain undocumented in the available context. Saregama, the label, specializes in Indian classical and devotional music releases. The track exemplifies Khan’s approach to khayal, emphasizing intricate taan patterns and emotive phrasing within the raga’s grammatical constraints.
