Today, I'm re-sharing an orchestration of a Medley of Three quite famous Bengali Art Songs written and composed by the noted Indian Filmmaker and Artist Satyajit Ray. This Medley had been a part of a Concert named "The Royal Bengal Symphony" - Presented by Muktochhanda on April 10, 2022 at Rathindra Mancha, adjacent to Jorasanko Thakurbari, Kolkata.
I have orchestrally arranged the songs with the Voices divided in a Two-part Choral Setting (i.e. Male and Female).
About "Symphonic Arrangement":
When Orchestral Instruments alongwith Choral Music are coupled with Ambient Sounds wherever appropriate, it becomes more artistic. I prefer to call it "Symphonic Arrangement", which is associated "Visual Soundscape", which means painting the feelings (which is conveyed by the words and the tunes) through sounds. This is a creative research that I've worked on (still working on and developing it furthermore, though) for years as an Artist.
It's really an amazingly beautiful experience working with young children singers.
