RAIN SONGS
Perhaps no other season is so rich in emotional diversity, as the Indian monsoon. After the scorching heat and the dust of the long summer months, the arrival of the first monsoon showers, announced by the cry of the peacock, is more than welcome. The smell of the damp earth fills the air, and the earth turns a rich, lush green. The great rainstorms broken by distinct silences invoke a whole sweep of responses - excitement, immeasurable peace, satisfaction and contentment for some; longing, anticipation, anxiety and finally relief for those whose livelihood depends on the rains; to others, it is the time of romance and joy. One of the most fascinating aspects of Indian Music is the rich relationship that it has with the world of nature. The moods of the monsoon have found subtle and evocative sophisticated expression in Indian Music and has created the most poignant compositions about the rainy season. So for your listening pleasure here are, just a few of, 'Rain songs'.
