 | Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan - Raag Kaushikdwani
Tags: ali, bade, ghulam, kasur, khan, patiala, ustad
Description:
Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khansaheb inherited the musical parampara (tradition)of Punjab that encompassed the Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religions.Saint Hazrat Bulleh Shah, whose Sufiana Kalam (Sufi song)is sung even today, was buried in Kasur, Ghulam Ali's birth place. The shepherds, wandering in the hills,sang in praise of Hazrath Ali andHussain -- grandsons of Prophet Muhammad -- in melodies akin to classical Indian ragas. The shabads and qawwalis of the Sikhs were often based on ancient Dhrupads and Khayals, again Indian classical ragas. In the biography of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, authors Malti Gulani and Quratulain Haider have paid a rich tribute to the maestro.Ghulam Ali's uncle and guru, Ustad Kale Khan,was himself trained in the Patiala school of music
(Patiala gharana); he taught the young Ustad simple compositions. In 1911, Ghulam Ali accompanied Kale Khan to Delhi, at the age of 9, and watched him perform at the 'Dilli Darbar'. Thus began the grooming and development of the musicalpersonality of the young disciple, alongside rigorous taleem (training) under his uncle's baton. Later after a brief acquaintance with ucknow and its highly refined soirees, Ghulam Ali returned to Lahorewith his father and resumed his nightly riyaaz (practice)on the banks of the river Ravi. Singing all night not only developed
his stamina, but also gave him the rare sensitivity to gauge the external response. In 1932, he lost his wife Allah Jiwai. His grief, poured into melody, gave birth to the immortal thumri: Yaad piya ki aye,reflecting the very trauma of his heart. On arrival in Mumbai in 1940, Ghulam Ali thrived under the benign patronage of the noted singer Ganga Bai. A Sufi at heart, he was once greatly moved by the poem Hari Om Tat Sat, and rendered it musically in the haunting raga Pahari. Years later, he explained, "God, Truth and Haq is one. I've Allah in my mind when I sing these words...Different people in the world have different names for the Supreme Being who is 'One'. In 1947, he visited Afghanistan at the invitation of King Zahir Shah and re-established the splendid rapport in music between the Afghans and Indians,where the Afghan string instruments like Rabab and Santoor were part of the Hindustani ensemble. Many Indian musical instruments still retain their Persian roots, such as Tabla, derived from Persian tabla;Sitar meaning seven strings and Dilruba being a longer version of Sarangi.The Partition in 1947 dealt a severe blow to the composite culture of the Indian subcontinent. But Ghulam Ali at a concert organized by Radio Lahore sang his own composition in raga Mian ki Todi:Ab Mori Raam / Raam ri Daiyyan (Ram is my only solace). In 1951, he was invited by Morarji desai to have Indian citizenship and sing at concerts all over thecountry. According to the cognoscenti,earlier the Ustad's singing was like the sound of the waterfall striking against the mountainside and rushing with great force to mingle with the ocean; now it resembled the vast ocean itself whose might and depth was unfathomable! In 1963, Ghulam Ali shifted to Kolkata where he was frequently invited to sing before highly appreciative audiences. He would say: Maharashtrians are great connoisseurs of classical music, with their approach being technical and academic. The exuberance, which the people of Kolkata show, is characteristic of their emotional and artistic nature!It is in Kolkata that he took young Malti Gilani (singer and later his biographer) as his gunda-bund shagird (committed disciple). She has noted how the open house atmosphere prevailed at the Ghulam Ali residence - reminiscent of the Sufi Khanas and hospices of the Middle Ages. In such places -- as even in the Dargahs today -- a cauldron of rice was always being cooked for the yraveller and food distributed to the rich
and the poor alike! In this respect, theSufis of Islam, the Bhaktas of the the Vaishnava cult and the Catholic mystics of the Medieval Europe - they all shared a similar spirit of tolerance and bonhomie. After having accomplished a lot, Ghulam Ali breathed his last in 1968 in Hyderabad -- far away from the green wheat fields of Kasur on the eastern seaboard of India. That he always took his listeners on an inward journey of musical understanding and fulfillment remained true to his last day. This biography provides an insight not only into the music of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan but into the history of Indian classical music at large. ***

 | Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan - Mian Ki Todi, Bihag, interview
Tags: Ali, Bade, classical, Ghulam, indian, kasur, Khan, maeastro, music, patiala, Ustad, vocal
Description:
a part of an interview enveloped by Raag Mian Ki Todi and Raag Bihag
Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali, one of the greatest singers of all times,
was capable of weaving a magic spell with his swaras and taans.
He had once said: "My throat is like a paint brush
and I paint on the waves of wind with my voice. The swaras -- the
notes of the raga -- are my colours. It is like a painting
created in the air, which is my canvas."
He inherited the formidable musical parampara (tradition)
of Punjab that encompassed the Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religions.
Saint Hazrat Bulleh Shah, whose Sufiana Kalam (Sufi song)
is sung even today, was buried in Kasur, Ghulam Ali's
birth place. The shepherds, wandering in the hills,
sang in praise of Hazrath Ali andHussain -- grandsons
of Prophet Muhammad -- in melodies akin to classical Indian
ragas. The shabads and qawwalis of the Sikhs
were often based on ancient Dhrupads
and Khayals, again Indian classical ragas.
In the biography of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, authors Malti Gulani
and Quratulain Haider have paid a rich tribute to the maestro.
Ghulam Ali's uncle and guru, Ustad Kale Khan,
was himself trained in the Patiala school of music
(Patiala gharana); he taught the young Ustad
simple compositions. In 1911, Ghulam Ali accompanied
Kale Khan to Delhi, at the age of 9, and watched him
perform at the 'Dilli Darbar'. Thus began the grooming
and development of the musicalpersonality of the young
disciple, alongside rigorous taleem (training) under
his uncle's baton. Later after a brief acquaintance with
Lucknow and its highly refined soirees, Ghulam Ali returned to
Lahorewith his father and resumed his nightly riyaaz (practice)
on the banks of the river Ravi. Singing all night not only developed
his stamina, but also gave him the rare sensitivity to gauge the external
response. In 1932, he lost his wife Allah Jiwai. His grief, poured into
melody, gave birth to the immortal thumri: Yaad piya ki aye,
reflecting the very trauma of his heart.
On arrival in Mumbai in 1940, Ghulam Ali thrived under the
benign patronage of the noted singer Ganga Bai. A Sufi at heart, he was once greatly moved by the poem
Hari Om Tat Sat, and rendered it musically in the haunting raga
Pahari. Years later, he explained, "God, Truth and Haq is one. I've
Allah in my mind when I sing these words...Different people
in the world have different names for the Supreme Being
who is 'One'. In 1947, he visited Afghanistan at the invitation
of King Zahir Shah and re-established the splendid
rapport in music between the Afghans and Indians,
where the Afghan string instruments like
Rabab and Santoor were part of the Hindustani
ensemble. Many Indian musical instruments still retain their
Persian roots, such as Tabla, derived from Persian tabl;
Sitar meaning seven strings and Dilruba
being a longer version of Sarangi.
The Partition in 1947 dealt a severe blow to the composite culture
of the Indian subcontinent. But Ghulam Ali at a concert organized
by Radio Lahore sang his own composition in raga Mian ki Todi:
Ab Mori Raam / Raam ri Daiyyan (Ram is my only solace). In
1951, he was invited by Morarji desai to have Indian citizenship
and sing at concerts all over thecountry. According to the cognoscenti,
earlier the Ustad's singing was like the sound of the waterfall
striking against the mountainside and rushing with great force
to mingle with the ocean; now it resembled the vast ocean itself
whose might and depth was unfathomable! In 1963, Ghulam Ali

are great connoisseurs of classical music, with their approach
being technical and academic. The exuberance, which the people
of Kolkata show, is characteristic of their emotional and artistic nature!
It is in Kolkata that he took young Malti Gilani (singer and later his
biographer) as his gunda-bund shagird (committed disciple).
She has noted how the open house atmosphere prevailed
at the Ghulam Ali residence - reminiscent of the Sufi Khanas
and hospices of the Middle Ages. In such places -- as even
in the Dargahs today -- a cauldron of rice was always
being cooked for the traveller and food distributed to the rich
and the poor alike! In this respect, theSufis of Islam, the Bhaktas i
f the Vaishnava cult and the Catholic mystics of the Medieval Europe -
they all shared a similar spirit of tolerance and bonhomie.
After having accomplished a lot,
Ghulam Ali breathed his last in 1968 in Hyderabad --
far away from the green wheat fields of Kasur on the
eastern seaboard of India. That he always took his listeners on
an inward journey of musical understanding and fulfillment
remained true to his last day. This biography
provides an insight not only into the
music of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan but into the history of

Tags: Ali, Bade, Bihag, classical, gharana, Ghulam, india, indian, kasur, Khan, maestro, music, patiala, Ustad, vocal
Description:
A Thumri.
Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan can be described as an artiste who has had the maximum impact on the 20th Century Hindustani Classical Music scenario. Born in 1902 into a great musical lineage from Kasur in the Western Punjab, this great savant amalgamated the best of four traditions; his own Patiala - Kasur style, sculpturesque Behram Khani elements of Dhrupad, the intricate gyrations of Jaipur and finally the robust behlavas (embellishments) of Gwaiior. But what actually characterised Bade Ghulam Ali Khan was an effervescent melodic quality which was concertised in a masterly flow of ideas which were delivered with a unique sense of alacrity, aided by one of the most pliable and dextrous voices ever heard in living memory in this land.
Bade Ghulam Ali Khan had a relatively short career span. He blazed the trails of Calcutta in 1938 and in the 1944 All India Music Conference in Bombay, was virtually anointed Lord of all he surveyed in the field of Indian Music. But 24 years later, he was dead, prematurely at 66, having given the World less of himself than it would have wished to have. The maestro's approach to khyal was essentially traditional - as seen in the medium pace of his vilambit Khayal presentation and his style of straightforward sthaibharana avoiding permutations. The character of his Gayaki was derived from an inclination towards looking beyond the traditional method of intoning a Swara to discover unchartered facets of beauteous melody, often achieved by very subtle inflexions of notes. This approach was bom of a mind which always strove to find that beauty in Indian Music which went beyond the Raga itself. For Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, 'Taleem' was but a means to a greater end where sheer melody and freedom of movement became unified His music was the joyous expression of an unfettered musical psyche.
In 'Thumri', Bade Gliulam Ali Khan looked beyond the tradition of bol-banav where verbal and musical expressions are unified. He saw in Thumri an avenue for playing with notes with even greater abandon than was possible in the raga-restrained Khayal. From this perspective was born the now well-established Punjab-ang of Thumri.
