Coffee Houser Sheyi Adda Ta Sargam Notes


HOW TO READ THE NOTATIONS

  • CAPITAL LETTERS
    = Shuddh Swars (Natural Notes)
  • small letters
    = Komal Swars (Flat Notes)
  • M with # [hash] or ^ [exponent]
    = Tivra Madhyam (M# / M^)
  • Letter/Alphabet ONLY
    = Medium Pitch/Normal blow on flute
  • Letter/Alphabet PRECEDED BY a ” . ” [full stop] or  a ” , ” [comma]
    = Low Octave Note/Softer blow on flute
  • Letter/Alphabet FOLLOWED BY a ‘ [single quote]
    = High Octave Note/harder blow on flute
  • Notes in { }
    = “murki” have to be played very fast without any pause
  • A Note in ( )
    = “kann swar” has to be just touched before moving on to the next note
  • A “~” between two Notes 
    = “meend”. That is, you have to glide from one note to another slowly to produce that wavy effect.
  • Few “….” (dots) after a note 
    = Play and hold that note

Singer : Manna De
Lyrics :  Gauriprashanna Majumder
Music : Suparnakanti Ghosh
Album : Coffee House (1983)

Flute used for the notations: F#

This is one of the landmark songs in Bengali music.  Manna De puts emotions in the lyrics of this song that illustrates the role of a coffee house in the lives of seven friends.

I have tried to jot down all the parts of this song including prelude, interludes and all five stanzas.  Pay attention in playing Komal Nishad (n) and Komal Dhaiwat (d) wherever indicated.
