City Lights and Night Skies: Memoirs from Rajkot came about when I started exploring the blend of music from two different traditions: Western and Indian. Inspired by the melodies of raga Jog, the raga serves as a backbone of the composition. A raga in the Indian musical tradition consists of an arrangement of specific pitches in a scale that artists can improvise with. The programmatic meaning behind this piece is to portray a day from dawn to dusk in the city of Rajkot, India which is my hometown. In the morning during the winters, low mist hangs in the cool air and the birds begin to chirp. After sunrise, the city slowly wakes up and while some people are out of their homes in a matter of minutes, others enjoy a big breakfast while reading the newspaper. Everything is calm until the late morning when the city comes alive. I remember seeing crowds on the streets, smelling the overwhelming aroma of freshly-made traditional sweets and savory snacks, or being approached by street vendors. But one had to be careful of the traffic. In Indian cities, pedestrians are not the priority! Around noon, the beeps of bikes, rickshaws, cars, and trucks become the sonic soundscape of Rajkot as drivers zoom past you. I find myself in a haze, as I rush to the sides of the road and squeeze past the people and vehicles. Eventually, the chaos comes to an end as the city takes a well-deserved lazy, afternoon nap. During this time my family used to put on old Bollywood songs which created a sense of rustic nostalgia and became philosophical outlets for me and served as an inspiration for this section. As we wake up from the philosophical nap, the evening brings the metallic sounds of bells as religious services begin in temples around the city. The melody of raga Jog is heard in a low brass choir and the piece ends with a “Teehai” or a rhythmic motif repeated three times, as is customary in the Indian musical tradition. This piece, though not a direct representation of Indian music, serves as an homage to my hometown, its people, and its culture. Truly grateful for all my teachers and peers for their hard work, dedication, and appreciation towards my first composition for wind ensemble! NOTE: Please ask if you wish to use my music in any way. Thank you!
