Thumri Mishra Tilak Kamod

Girija Devi performed the thumri Mishra Tilak Kamod as the second track on her 2011 album The Genius of Girija Devi. Saregama released the recording on CD. The composition spans 10 minutes and 34 seconds.

The album compiles Devi’s renditions of semi-classical and light classical vocal forms. Mishra Tilak Kamod exemplifies her interpretation of the thumri genre, characterized by expressive phrasing and rhythmic flexibility. The track reflects her training in the Banaras gharana, a tradition she represented throughout her career.

Devi’s vocal technique in this recording incorporates bol-banao (lyrical improvisation) and murki (ornamental grace notes). The accompaniment details remain undocumented in available sources, but her performances typically featured harmonium and tabla support. The album received recognition for preserving her contributions to Hindustani vocal music.

The Genius of Girija Devi serves as a posthumous compilation, released three years before her death in 2017. Saregama’s production highlights her influence on 20th-century Indian classical and semi-classical music. No further track-specific credits or session details are publicly verified.
