Текст песни Ravi Shankar - Symphony - Finale - Banjara

The fourth movement is based on Raga Banjārā,
also created by Ravi Shankar. Banjārā uses a
flattened 6th and both the major and minor
7th. The Banjārā are a nomadic people with a
lively folk tradition living throughout the Indian
subcontinent. This movement explores Indian
rhythm in a folk context, and the centre of the
movement contains a beautiful contrasting
alap (non-rhythmic) section for the solo sitar.
Indian rhythmic cycles are then explored by
individual sections of the orchestra. Ever the
innovator, Ravi Shankar explores them in a way
never before attempted by a Western orchestra:
there is a surprise in store towards the end of
the work.
