Sarangi · Melody & bowing
The sarangi’s singing voice
Example artist profileRead profile
Sustained notes and sliding pitches give the sarangi a voice-like quality. Bow pressure shapes the melody as tabla responds with rhythm.
Bowing connects one pitch to the next. A phrase takes shape through its opening, its slides and the answering rhythm of tabla.
Sparse arrangements make the bowing easier to hear. Edits and timing changes should leave the phrase’s shape intact.
