Middle Earth's Cry

from What are the Odds? by Dennis Winge

/

about

This tune is based on a simple 7-note Indian ‘thaat’ (loosely, a scale on which a raga is based.) Michele and I have played lots of kirtan (chanting) events together, and the ‘Todi bhav’ that is used here is also on the opening track of my album, “Official Bootleg.” I’ve also used this and other ‘thaats’ on a few of my 121 versions of the Hanuman Chalisa and on “Puravi Sketch” from my album, One Small Step, which was the favorite track of the reviewer at JazzGuitar.com who wrote a glowing review of the album. The slow ¾ tempo was inspired by a Carnatic concert that my son and I went to at Cornell. I love the chaos that happened in the middle section.
