About Poorvi: An Evening Raga for Concert Band

The sounds of bells, gongs and struck metal objects will forever remind me of my time studying

music in India. From rituals in Pushkar, Rajasthan to Kolkata’s Durga Pooja festival, to the

bell-laden cows passing on the road, metallic timbres were part of the soundscape. The

opening metallic sounds of Poorvi: An Evening Raga for Concert Band invokes the improvised

rhythms of India’s street music that I regularly encountered.

As the sound of bells establishes the color of this piece, clarinets or other high woodwinds

emerge with a single unison melody. This phrase is a melody central to raag Poorvi. Raag

Poorvi is one of thousands of ragas, a highly detailed musical system originating in South Asia.

A few measures later this central phrase, called the raag chalan, is restated and varied by

woodwinds as the metallic sounds continue. Suddenly, trumpets and saxophones enter, playing

a third variation on the raag chalan. After percussion enters dramatically, the piece begins to

move forward at a faster tempo.

It is nearly impossible to express the full nature of a raga within concert band instrumentation.

One challenge is that each raga has a unique approach to gliding between specific notes. This

glide, called meend, changes speed, inflection, and timbre depending on the raga. This

technique is not sight-readable as it requires many years of focused listening and practice.

Additionally, raga music is typically small ensemble music. A traditional concert features a solo

vocalist or instrumentalist that brings the raga to life by performing highly structured

improvisation and a series of fixed compositions. The soloist is often accompanied by a number

of instrumentalists. Tanpura players establish a drone of the root note, a tabla player expresses

the rhythmic cycle, and a harmonium or sarangi player reflects the soloist with melodic

accompaniment. Despite these differences in technique and instrumentation, I believe there is

a universality to raga music that allows it to function as the seed material for melody,

orchestration, and harmony within the wind ensemble medium.

As a composer exploring the sonic universes of raga music and concert band instrumentation, I

ask myself, what experience do I want to share with you, the listener, by the end of this piece?

From a technical standpoint, I want to introduce you to raag Poorvi, whose essential melody,

the raag chalan, is stated four times throughout the work. The center of the piece features a

traditional composition called khayal, which is stated three times across various instruments in

the band. I hope you leave the concert humming these melodies. I also want to share with you

the sonic experience of cultural hybridity. In addition to the sound of bells, I often encountered

breakbeats in night clubs, backbeats in ensemble rehearsals, and sounds that intentionally

bridge the gap between modernity and tradition, during my time studying music in India. I

hope the sounds of Poorvi: An Evening Raga for Concert Band invoke this sonic diversity and

shine a light on our collective journey.

About the Composer

Hailed as “A fiery alto saxophonist and prolific composer” by the Star Tribune (Minneapolis), Aakash Mittal creates

music at the intersection of improvisation, composition, sonified movement, and noise. The colorful dissonances,

meditative silences, and angular rhythms that emerge invite the listener to enter a sonic landscape. Mittal’s work

explores universal designs while being rooted in his studies of South Asian and American musical traditions. In his

latest project, Breathe, Mittal sets text from anonymous musings on the Covid-19 pandemic, expresses his own

relationship to family, and asks questions about who is allowed to breathe in America.

As a composer Aakash Mittal has written extensively for a variety of ensembles and mediums composing over one

hundred new works. His wind ensemble works include, Salt March (2022), Three Songs of Bengal (2019) and Samay

Raga for Wind Ensemble (2019). His recent works for strings include The Other Shore for solo violin and The First

Dream for countertenor, baritone, violin, viola and cello. Both works were commissioned by the Gabriella Lena Frank

Creative Academy of Music (2022). In This Sound We Are One and Many for cello and field recordings was

commissioned by Jake Charkey (2022). In 2017 Mittal composed the found sound piece Ghosts for BOMB

Magazine, and a work for solo percussion titled Meditation, Motion, and Melody for Indian-American percussionist

David Abraham. In 2014 Mittal premiered a suite of trio works titled Nocturne as part of his American Institute of

Indian Studies Fellowship. American University Creative Ensemble commissioned the work Pooja, in 2013. The

Playground ensemble has commissioned a number of works including Urban Raga (2011), Transitions (2011), and

Questions of Identity (2012). In 2009 Mittal wrote Octet on Raga Yaman for the Ethos West Chamber Orchestra. As a

leader, Mittal has self-released the five recordings Possible Beginnings, Videsh, Thumbs Up EP, Ocean, and

Nocturne to rave reviews.

Aakash Mittal has performed with such notable ensembles as the Milford Graves Trio, Du Yun’s Ok Miss, Amir

Elsaffar’s Rivers of Sound, William Parker’s Little Huey’s Pocket Watch and the Brooklyn Raga Massive. As a leader

Mittal has performed nationally at such venues as Lincoln Center (New York City), The Dakota (Minneapolis), The

Cultural Center of Chicago, The American Jazz Museum (Kansas City) and Dazzle Jazz Club (Denver). Internationally,

Aakash Mittal led a quartet at the Congo Square Jazz Festival in Kolkata, India. As a sideman, Mittal has performed

in Kolkata with world renowned percussionist Pandit Tanmoy Bose’s Taal Tantra, and with the creative music

ensemble Kendraka. In 2012 Mittal toured Mexico with Ravish Momin’s Trio Tarana. Other collaborations include

poet Bhanu Kapil, Yells at Eels with Dennis Gonzalez, and Joining Hands with bharatnatyam dancer Anjal Chande.

Aakash Mittal’s awards and honors include the Gabriella Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music Fellowship (2022),

Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music (2012), the Herb

Albert/ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Award (2013) and the American Institute of Indian Studies Creative and

Performing Arts Fellowship (2013). Aakash Mittal has received a Bachelor of Music from the University of Colorado at

Boulder (2007) and has been a participant of the “Workshop for Jazz and Creative Music” and “(R)evolution:

Resonant Bodies” at the Banff Center in Alberta, Canada. Mittal has been studying Hindustani raga music with

Prattyush Banerjee and Tanmoy Bose since 2009 and with Samarth Nagakar since 2016. Aakash Mittal studied music

and creativity with the legendary drummer/healer Milford Graves from 2015-2022.

Raga Poorvi

By Samarth Nagarkar

A brief note on the concept of Raga

Raga is the central concept of Indian classical music. It is so vital to the tradition that we mark

its centrality when referring to it by its full name: Raga Sangeet, or Raga Music. An essential

aspect of a raga is the anga, a melodic form created by the movement of swara (notes) in a

specific laya (tempo). A set of angas deliberately strung together assumes a distinctive

personality called raga.

Anga is a Sanskrit word that means ‘part of’. The word anga is often combined with the word

raga to create the term raga-anga. Raga-anga refers to the note combination that holds the

signature movement, or phrasing, of a raga. There can be two or more ragas that employ the

same set of notes and have the same ascending and descending scales, but will render

different moods and personalities due to their raga-anga being distinct. The degree of

prominence given to a note, the meend, or portamento-like gliding between notes, the

curvatures akin to grace notes, and the tempo of each phrase are characteristics of the

raga-anga that render every raga unique. A raga’s anga can be conceptualized as the sonic

fingerprints of the raga.

In order to understand a raga, one needs to grasp its structural and aesthetic attributes. The

structure of a raga includes the swaras (notes) employed, the previously discussed raga-anga

phrases, and a swara’s prominent or diminished status. A prominent swara has the option of

being sustained while a diminished swara may act as passing tone in addition to other qualities.

Aesthetic attributes imply subtler aspects such as the general mood, gait, and time of day or

night associated with the raga. Most ragas have an ideal time of day, night or season attributed

to them for performance and listening. Although these rules do not have any known scientific

basis, the practice of singing certain ragas only at certain times has been in convention for

centuries. There is a kind of beauty that emerges from the collective association of a raga with

a specific time of day or night.

Poorvi

Poorvi is an important raga within the Indian classical tradition. It is significant due to its own

depth, gravitas, and as a parent raga to several popular ragas. A parent raga, or Aashraya raga,

is a status given to a major raga with which several other ragas share a common raga-anga

root. Pedagogically, the concept of a parent raga aids in the study of numerous ragas that have

structural commonalities and subtle differences.

Structurally, If C is the tonic (known as Sa in Indian music sargam 1 ), Poorvi will use the notes C

Db E F# G Ab B C , and an occasional F, to establish its fundamental scale. It employs the flat

2nd (Re), flat 6th (Dha), the augmented 4th (teevra Ma in sargam), and a special use of the

natural 4th (shuddha Ma 2 ). The 5th (Pa), although very central to the raga, is often omitted in

the aaroh (ascending) movements 3 . It distinguishes itself from ragas like Paraj and

Puriya-dhanashri by dwelling in the lower and middle tetrachord 4 of the scale with a strong

focus on the 3rd (Ga).

The phrasing of Poorvi is rather heavy in its gait. If one characterized Poorvi’s overall aesthetic,

one would imagine a royal elephant, rather than a swift and nimble gazelle. With a marked

solemnity and gravitas, it glides with somber shades of dusk. Poorvi is called a sandhi-prakaash

raga or a twilight raga, indicating that dusk or pre-dusk is the recommended time to perform it.

Traditional lyrical compositions in this raga cover a wide gamut of moods. Due to its heavy and

slow movement, intense feelings of bhakti (devotion), karunaa (compassion) and shaanti (peace)

are often explored. Inspired by the raga's darker shades, one may also find compositions that

depict romance with themes of longing, pangs of separation, bitter-sweet fights, and coyness

between lovers. The word Poorvi itself refers to the easterly winds that blow in India during the

winter. These winds often bring storms, but are also symbolic of longer nights when lonely

lovers impatiently await their next meetings with anticipation.

Poorvi is a mature raga that has stood the test of time dating back more than 300 years.

Despite its grandeur, significance and popularity, Poorvi is not commonly performed, because

it requires a high level of mastery to properly express the nuances of the raga’s structure. Very

few musicians are able to render Poorvi in its full glory, and even those that can often wait for

an audience that is able to appreciate the depth of this beautiful raga.

1 Sargam is similar to solfege in that there is a different syllable used to sing each pitch of a scale or mode. The sargam syllables

are Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni and Sa.

2

Shuddha means the natural or unaltered form of a note as if in a major scale. Teevra is the name for raising the note by a half step.

See the warmup guide at the back of this score for more information about the aaroh of Poorvi.

In Indian classical music, the lower tetrachord is called the poorvang.

The metallic sounds are intended to be improvised and rehearsed in the style of aural tradition. The metallic

objects notation cannot be sight-read or practiced individually. The performers will need to learn the part as

an ensemble. The conductor must shape the ensemble sound to create an aleatoric texture. If the sound is

too dense or loud reduce the number of performers to one per part. Below is a list of suggestions to aid in

rehearsal.

• Instruct performers to stagger their metallic sounds. Tell them to avoid playing their metallic object at

the same time as the player next to them.

• The instructions to count in seconds is at the speed and pace of each individual player rather than

actual seconds on a clock.

• There are five groupings of performers in the diagram above. Rehearse each group separately and

design the texture before rehearsing as a full ensemble. The sound of each group alone needs to be

as focused and captivating as the full ensemble playing together.

• This section is not random. Rehearse the balance of tone and silence to find the sound you want.

• Remind the performers to “play the silence.” The silence and space between each performer’s

metallic sound is essential to create the texture. Performers need to be listening actively during the

moments of silence.

• Invite performers to bring a mindful intention to playing the metal objects. This intention can simply

be to focus on listening to the ensemble or to bring awareness to their breath. When they strike their

object they are sending their intention into the world. The intention does not need to be spoken,

only felt.

• Avoid scraping sounds. Create a tone by striking the object and letting it ring.

• From the score: Metal objects must make a soft sustained metallic sound. Possible objects are metal

water bottles, metal mixing bowls and metal plates. Possible instruments include singing bowls,

chimes, bells and finger cymbals. Please do not play the music stand.

Glossary

Aaroh - The ascending scale of a raga.

Alaap - The first movement or phase of a raga music performance. The alaap is typically performed without

percussion accompaniment. When an alaap is performed with percussion accompaniment it is typically at a slow

tempo called vilambit. The form of the alaap often begins with a statement of the raag chalan. After the opening

raag chalan, the performer can develop the lower octave of the raga followed by the first tetrachord and then the

second tetrachord leading to the tonic note (called Sa in sargam) of the second octave. The melodic progression is

typically improvised within an additive process whereby each note of the raga becomes the focus of musical

development for a time. This process is further organized by use of the raag ang and raag chalan as themes within

the additive process. A literal translation of the word alaap is “introduction.”

Avroh - The descending scale of a raga.

Breakbeat - A technique where the drum beats that occur as a break in a recorded piece of music are looped and

repeated.

Khayal - A song form with two primary sections called the Sthayi and the Antara. The Sthayi is the first melody and

lyric of the song. The Antara is characterized by a resolution to the high Sa (the second octave tonic) as part of the

melody. Khayals are set within a rhythmic cycle called tala. A literal translation of Khayal is “imagination” or

“thought.”

Mezzo-staccato - Notes that are connected in a legato style while also being slightly accented to create a pulsing

sound. Also known as portato and non-legato in string music.

Raag Ang - The identifying phrase of a raga.

Raag Chalan - Multiple raag ang phrases performed with a sense of rhythm and tempo.

Sargam - The syllables used to sing each note (swara) of the raga. In sargam each scale degree has a specific

syllable that is used to sing each note. The syllable represents a specific scale degree regardless of the key. In that

sense sargam is similar to the concept of fixed do in solfege.

Scale Degree Long Name Short Name

1 Shadja Sa

2 Rishabh Re

3 Gandhar Ga

4 Madhyam Ma

5 Pancham Pa

6 Dhaivat Dha

7 Nishad Ni

Tala - A rhythmic cycle of a set number of beats such as 7, 10, 12 or 16 that repeat. Each tala is characterized by

specific percussion patterns and notes on the tabla or pakawaj. These sounds can be spoken and represented by

rhythmic syllables called bols. The first beat of the cycle is called the sum. A specific beat that excludes the bass

drum sound is called kali. Tala is often represented by a clapping pattern that emphasizes the sum and the kali.

Teentaal - A tala of sixteen beats divided into four groups of four beats. The kali is on beat nine.

CBDA Social Impact Curriculum Teacher Resource Guide

Indian Classical Music (often divided into Hindustani [north] and Carnatic [south]) boasts a rich and

complex history of structural, compositional, and improvisatory theory vastly different from the Western

European Art Music that much of school band repertoire is based on. The 2024 Social Impact Consortium

companion curriculum seeks to serve as a music student’s first engagement with the theory and

improvisational techniques of Indian Classical Music (specifically in the Hindustani tradition). Students

will learn about raga and how they are constructed and developed into melodies before being encouraged

to improvise with them. Aakash Mittal’s included series of three warm-ups for his

composition, Poorvi, serve as an integral part of this curriculum.

Visit www.cbda.org/social-impact-consortium for links to the Poorvi Hindustani

theory and improvisation curriculum resources as well as information and companion

Poorvi Warmup Guide

by Aakash Mittal

The following three warmups are designed to help students and conductors understand the basic

elements of raag Poorvi 1 . The warmups are also designed to facilitate repetitive practice of music that

work for your students.

to raga occurred in the 3rd century BC. Yet, the musical style of khayal, which this concert band piece is

based on, is relatively contemporary with roots in the 19th century. Raga is a melodic structure utilized in

composition and improvisation. Each raga is governed by notes that can be organized into a scale and

specific phrases that are unique to the raga. The foundation of raga music is the vocal tradition. In India,

some pedagogy requires that students do not begin to learn an instrument until they can first sing the

music. Other methods require that students learn to sing simultaneously while learning the instrument

technique. In my own study of raga music with Prattyush Banerjee in Kolkata, all of my lessons were

taught vocally. My teacher never once pulled out his instrument. The vocal syllables associated with each

note are called sargam. Sargam is similar to solfege in Western traditions. In raga music sargam is used

to communicate everything, from memorizing repertoire to theoretical concepts. Teaching your band to

sing and think about music utilizing the sargam syllables is a fundamental step in the Indian music

tradition. Therefore, underneath every note in each warmup is the corresponding sargam syllable for that

note.

I. Sing and Play

For musicians who are new to singing, alternate playing each note of Warmup 1 Aroh-Avroh with singing

that note using the sargam syllable. (For example, ask the students to play a Bb. Then ask them to sing

the note they played with the syllable Sa.) If sargam syllables and Indian music techniques are new to

you as a conductor, consider sharing that with your students and telling them, “We are going to learn

this together.” For warmup two and three, utilize the same method with each phrase. Play the first four

notes of the raag chalan. Then ask the students to sing each note using the sargam syllables written

under each note in the warmup. You may need to go through it one note at a time until they are

comfortable with the pitches. If you only learn the first four notes of Warmup 2 Raag Chalan before you

need to move on with your rehearsal that is normal. Consider adding one more phrase of the raag

chalan or khayal at each rehearsal.

II. Unison-Repetition-Riyaz

Each warmup is designed so the entire band can practice melodies in unison that are orchestrated in

various places throughout the piece. To utilize this aspect of the warmups, practice Warmup No. 2 Raag

Chalan. Then rehearse measures 13-22 of Poorvi. Ask the band to name which instruments are playing

the raag chalan. Then rehearse measures 23-35. Ask the band who is playing the raag chalan. You can

also ask the band how the raag chalan in the warmup is different from the arrangement in Poorvi and

similar to the arrangement in Poorvi.

1

The term raga and raag are often interchangeable. When talking about a specific raga such as raag Poorvi or raag Yaman the word raag is

often used. When talking about the music as a whole such as the phrase “raga music” the word raga is used.

Warmup No. 3 Khayal is designed so that the band may play the khayal composition together in unison.

After playing through Warmup No. 3 Khayal, rehearse the band from measure 35-70. Ask the band to

identify the instruments that are playing the khayal composition. Ask the band to describe how the

arrangement of the khayal changes with each repetition of the melody. For a big project, assign the

students to create their own arrangement of the khayal melody.

If your students are struggling with the technical aspects of the raag chalan and khayal melodies in the

piece, the warmup is designed so you can rehearse the melodies slowly and with repetition in a way that

all students can participate. In raga music, rigorous and repetitive practice is called riyaz. You may use

this term in rehearsal such as, “Okay, we are going to do some riyaz with this melody.”

III. Aural Tradition

Raga music is learned through the aural tradition. You can bring elements of aural tradition learning into

your practice of Poorvi by teaching the students to sing and play each of the three warmups before

passing out any sheet music.

1. Prep your students by telling them, “To start our next piece we are going to learn some of the

melodies and scales from the music by ear. Does anyone know what it is called when you learn

music entirely by ear?” Once you have collected some answers, focus on the term Aural

Tradition. When I teach about aural tradition in ensembles that use western notation I like to say,

“Aural tradition is the method that most of the world uses to make music. In the Indian music

tradition it is common for a student to take multiple lessons a week with their teacher to study

the music. Aural tradition is just as rigorous and important as music notation. If you can learn

music aurally and you can read notated music it will open up numerous opportunities for you.”

2. Tell the students that each note in the scale has a syllable associated with it. In Indian music this

is called Sargam. In western music this is called Solfege. Write the sargam syllables on the board.

They are Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni, Sa. Practice saying each syllable together in unison as you

point to each one on the board.

3. Sing a Bb major scale together in unison using the sargam syllables. If you are using a sing and

play method you could follow this by having the students play the scale they just sang.

4. If it helps your students write the note names on the board below the sargam syllables. Now flat

the second note to B natural, raise the fourth note to E natural, flat the sixth note to F# or Gb.

Your scale is now Bb, B natural, D, E natural, F, F#, A natural, and Bb. Sing this scale up and

down using the same sargam syllables.

5. For warmup two and three utilize an echo song method. The conductor or a band member can

sing the first phrase of the raag chalan or khayal. If this is too much to absorb, even singing three

or four notes is a good start. Then have the band echo the first singer. You may need to do this

numerous times for your students to memorize the notes if they are not already used to this

technique.

6. The three warmups can potentially be a vocal warmup before the band plays the piece. If you

have the time, consider having the students learn all three melodies with their voice before

beginning rehearsal on the notated material. Any amount of singing the melodies with the

sargam syllables is valuable and will deepen the student’s understanding of raga music.

Aaroh and Avroh

Each raga has an ascending and descending scale associated with it that we can practice to better understand the raga. The ascending

scale is called aaroh and the descending scale is called avroh. Each raga will have a minimum of five notes. Some ragas use all twelve

notes. The foundation of raga music is vocal music. Each scale degree in the raga has a syllable that represents the note. These vocal

syllables are called sargam. Play the scale on your instrument and sing the scale using the sargam syllables.

Raag Chalan q=60

Ragas are defined by specific phrases called raag ang. When multiple phrases are performed together with rhythm and tempo, it is

called raag chalan. Each raga has a unique raag chalan that shows the movement of the phrases, the order of the notes, the tempo

of the notes, the rhythm of the notes, the notes that are sustained, and the notes that are played quickly. Play the raag chalan on your

instrument and sing the raag chalan using the sargam syllables.

Khayal in Teentaal h=90

Khayal is a song form commonly used in raga music. Each khayal is set to a rhythmic cycle called tala. Each tala has a specific

number of beats. Beat one is the beat the music will resolve on. This khayal is set in teentaal, a sixteen beat cycle. Sixteen beats

is similar to four measures of 4/4 time.
