Whole Music Experience Mission
In Review--Persian Poetry and the Equinox
World
Shujaat Husain Khan, Katayoun Goudarzi,
Abhiman Kaushal and Ajay Prasanna
Spring
(no label)
To say that Spring by Hindustani sitarist Shujaat Husain
Khan and Iranian vocalist Katayoun Goudarzi is a “heart”
album barely describes the listening experience. Combining
the ancient Sufi poet Rumi’s soulful language with the strains
of Indian sitar, bansuri flute (Ajay Prasanna) and gentle tabla
beats (Abhiman Kaushal), these musicians aim for spiritual
Oneness and achieve it. Certainly, I would love to have the
Rumi text in front of me while listening to this double CD
recording, but even closing my eyes and allowing the voices and instruments to float over and around
me takes me to a meditative place.
Yâr with its lilting melody, repetitive poetry line, and delicious beats as well as, passionate Spring
(titular track), stand out as favorites for me. The first song mentioned features virtuoso sitar that
wraps around Goudarzi’s sensual alto voice. You can feel the singer’s longing dripping off her voice.
When Husain Khan and Goudarzi’s voices blend together listeners enjoy a musical respite as well.
Can’t have spring without Autumn and on this dreamy track, we are treated to alap moments (the first
and slow movement of a raga where a melody gently unfolds). The bansuri flute, baritone vocals, and
slow moving sitar act as the perfect balm for a Vata dosha. It’s a song that drifts like an autumn leaf in
a breeze, gently floating down to a leafy ground.
In fact, most of the songs, (dare I call them ragas?), here have listeners gently floating into inner space,
and most effectively, into the heart center. However, watch out for bursts of passion which conclude
the songs. When exceptional talented musicians set Persian poetry to classical Indian music, we know
the musical journey can only take us to a fantastic healing place. I recommend you go there.

About Me
Moon Child
I am a musician, instructor, novelist and
veteran arts journalist with an interest in
the healing powers of music.
I am the author of Whole
Music (Soul Food for the
Mind Body Spirit). I launched
The Whole Music Experience
in 2007 to promote the
healing potential of mainly traditional and
classical music. I started teaching music
awareness workshops in 2009. I also post
articles on World Music Central and
contribute to print publications. I believe
that high vibrational music heals individuals
and communities through cultural
exchange, music preservation and music
therapy. Music, similar to prayer and
meditation moves us to a place deep within
us, thus promoting peace, but it depends on
the music too. I've published articles in
Global Rhythm, World Music Central, Early
Music America, Skagit Valley Herald "A & E
Monthly," and other fine music publications.

Endorsement for a Whole Music
Experience workshop
I took the “Developing a Healthy Music
Diet” class in winter quarter and had a
great time with it. The musical examples
Patricia provided in class were diverse and
stimulating. The experiential part was easy
to manage and I achieved a beneficial result
for my health and well-being – releasing a
stress pattern and obtaining restful sleep
for the first time in many weeks!
I recommend this class to anyone who is
interested in expanding and enriching their
consciousness of how the music they listen
to, or could be listening to, affects their
quality of life, or to anyone who works in a
healing profession and utilizes
environmental music or sound as a
complementary modality. I also highly
recommend visiting Patricia’s expansive
blog on healing music (The Whole Music
Experience). ---Allan Tamm
