| “ | "One of the great pleasures Satyajit Ray's films gives audiences is the beautiful music they contain. This has been true from the very beginning of his career, when he asked classical music Pandit Ravi Shankar (the 'Apu' trilogy, 'Devi') and Ustad Vilayat Khan ('The Music Room') to compose and perform the music for his soundtracks. These great maestros always worked within the framework of Indian classical music; that is, music based upon ragas. However, light classical and folk songs, as well as folk tunes, were also drawn upon and provide much intoxicating rhythm and lively orchestration for Ray's scores. ...
His conversation was full of allusions to Western classical music; he once called Konarak, the great 10th-century Hindu temple in South India, the B-minor Mass of Indian sculpture. Sometimes he used Western classical music for his soundtracks, with his own idiosyncratic adaptation. When the tormented wife in 'Devi' is being led to safety by her husband to the banks of the Ganges, the ominous 'music' we hear is a slow movement played backwards of a Haydn symphony. Ray felt that to use Western classical music in the normal way, except as 'source music,' i.e. music actually being performed as part of a scene, was cheating.
For the orchestration he himself wrote ('Charulata,' 'The Big City,' and 'The Middleman'), he relied on the rich sonorities available in Western instruments played in combination with Indian ones -- for instance, violins and cello, trumpet and harmonium, played with Indian wooden flutes, sarangi, santoor, sarod, sitar and tabla. His melodies were always based on ragas, however, no matter what the combination of instruments might be, and the ravishing sound he wrought from this is what people think of his peculiarly individual, 'Ray-like,' music. No other film composer in India ever quite attained his effects, or gave us film music so satisfying to the Western ear." | ” |
