How would you introduce her? – মনে করো বিখ্যাত সংগীতজ্ঞ কিশোরী আমনকর স্কুলে গেছেন। তার প্রদর্শনের আগে তোমাকে শ্রোতামণ্ডলীর কাছে তাকে পরিচিত করতে বলা হল। তুমি কীভাবে তাকে পরিচিত করবে? 

Here is some information about Kishori Amonkar you can find on the internet. Read the passage and make notes of the main points about: এখানে কিশোর আমনকর সম্বন্ধে কিছু তথ্য যা তুমি ইন্টারনেটে দেখতে পাবে। অনুচ্ছেদটি পড়ো এবং প্রধান বিষয়গুলি লিখে রাখো –

• her achievements – তার সম্পাদিত কাজ।

• her inspiration – তার অনুপ্রেরণা।

• awards – সম্মান।

Padma Bhushan Kishori Amonkar, widely considered the finest female vocalist of her generation, was born in 1931, daughter of another great artist, Smt Mogubai Kurdikar. In her early years she absorbed the approach and repertoire of her distinguished mother’s teacher Ustad Alladiya Khan. As her own style developed, however, she moved away from Alladiya Khan’s ‘Jaipur-Atrauli gharana style in some respects, and as a mature artist her approach is usually regarded as an individual, if not unique, variant of the Jaipur model.

Kishori Amonkar is a thinker, besotted by what she calls the mysterious world of her raagas. She dissects them with the precision of a perfectionist, almost like a scientist, until the most subtle of shades and emotions emerge and re-emerge.

She is very much inspired by the teachings of the ancient Vedic sages, written at a time when vocal music was highly devotional in character. This soul-searching quality of her music, coupled with a very intellectual approach to raaga performance has gained her quite a following in India and has helped to revive the study of khayal.

Significant awards bestowed on this artist include the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award (1985), the Padma Bhushan (1987), and the highly coveted Sangeet Samradhini Award (considered one of the most prestigious awards in Indian Classical Music) in 1997.

Ans. Do yourself.

Q. Il. Use your notes on Kishori Amonkar to introduce her to an imaginary audience. You may use one of the following phrases to introduce a guest:

I Am honoured to introduce… /I feel privileged to introduce… ‘We welcome you’…

Ans. It’s my proud privilege that I have been honoured to introduce you to the famous singer Kishori Amonkar, the finest female vOcalist of her generation. She was born in 1931 to the great artist Smt. Mogubai Kurdika. She is a thinker who dissects the raagas with the precision of a perfectionist to so that the raagas can be inspirational for the common masses. She is greatly inspired by the teachings of the ancient vedic ages. She was conferred upon the significant awards viz, the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award (1985), the Padma Bhushan (1987) and the highly coveted Sangeet Samradhini Award in 1997.

WRITING:

”If you work hard and know where you’ re going, you’ll get there,” says Evelyn Glennie.

You have now read about two musicians, Evelyn Glennie and Ustad Bismillah Khan. Do you think that they both worked hard? Where did they want to go’?

Answer these questions in two paragraphs, one on each of the two musicians.

Ans. Yes, I think they worked really very hard in their lives. It is a fact that dedication and determination help one in attaining one’s long cherished goals. Evelyn Glennie was profoundly deaf. She was not ready to give up. She was determined to lead a normal life and pursue her interest in music. She worked hard and got Royal Philharmonic Society’s prestigious soloist of the year Award in 1991. She accomplished more than most people twice her age.

Bismillah Khan too worked very hard. He belongs to a well known family of musicians from Bihar. He took to music early in life. He gave many memorable performances in India and abroad. He practised hard and reached his destination in 2001 When he was awarded India’s highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, National Awards like the Padmashri, the Padma Bhushan and the Padma Vibhushan were also conferred on him. His life has been a perfect example of the rich, cultural heritage of India, one that effotlessly accepts that a devout Muslim like him can very naturally play the shehnai every morning at the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
