Satyajit Ray & His Love for Music

Satyajit Ray, one of the most celebrated filmmakers in Indian cinema, had a deep-seated love for music. His understanding and passion for the art form were evident in his collaborations with legendary musicians like Pandit Ravi Shankar and his own compositions for films, including the iconic Feluda theme music.

Collaboration with Pandit Ravi Shankar

Ray's partnership with Pandit Ravi Shankar was nothing short of magical. The two creative geniuses first collaborated on Ray's movie "Pather Panchali" (1955). Shankar's soulful sitar compositions perfectly complemented the poignant narrative of the film, and the soundtrack went on to win critical acclaim.

Their collaboration continued in subsequent films like "Aparajito" (1956) and "Apur Sansar" (1959). Ravi Shankar's music added a whole new dimension to Ray's storytelling, creating an emotional resonance that touched the hearts of audiences worldwide.

The Feluda Theme Music

Ray's love for music extended even to the most minute details of his films, including the creation of the iconic Feluda theme music. Feluda, the beloved detective created by Ray, became a cultural phenomenon in India. The theme music, composed by Ray himself, captures the essence of the character and the thrill of his adventures.

The Feluda theme music is instantly recognizable with its mysterious and haunting melody. It has become synonymous with Feluda's presence on screen, creating a sense of anticipation and excitement among fans.

Background Score in Ray's Movies

Ray's commitment to music extended beyond individual compositions. He believed that background scores played a crucial role in enhancing the impact of his films. He carefully curated the music for each scene, ensuring that it enhanced the mood and emotions portrayed on screen.

The background scores in Ray's films were diverse, ranging from classical Indian music to Western compositions. He had an astute understanding of how music could amplify the narrative, and his choices were impeccable. From "Charulata" (1964) to "Joi Baba Felunath" (1979), the background scores in Ray's movies added depth and richness to the storytelling.

Conclusion

Satyajit Ray's love for music was a defining aspect of his filmmaking career. His collaborations with Pandit Ravi Shankar brought a unique and mesmerizing allure to his movies. The Feluda theme music has become an integral part of Indian pop culture, and Ray's meticulous selection of background scores further elevated the impact of his films. Ray's legacy as a master storyteller is inextricably linked with his deep appreciation for the power of music.

BEST DIRECTORS IN CINEMA-3

Hi everyone! This blog is going to be the 3rd part of 8 Part Series of who I think are the Best Directors Cinema as ever seen

And today I will be talking about

SATYAJIT RAY

Satyajit Ray (born May 2, 1921, Calcutta [now Kolkata], India—died April 23, 1992, Calcutta) was a Bengali motion-picture director, writer, and illustrator who brought the Indian cinema to world recognition with Pather Panchali (1955; The Song of the Road) and its two sequels, known as the Apu Trilogy. As a director, Ray was noted for his humanism, his versatility, and his detailed control over his films and their music. He was one of the greatest filmmakers of the 20th century.

(Early Life)

Ray was an only child whose father died in 1923. His grandfather was a writer and illustrator, and his father, Sukumar Ray, was a writer and illustrator of Bengali nonsense verse. Ray grew up in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and was looked after by his mother. He entered a government school, where he was taught chiefly in Bengali, and then studied at Presidency College, Calcutta’s leading college, where he was taught in English. By the time he graduated in 1940, he was fluent in both languages. In 1940 his mother persuaded him to attend art school at Santiniketan, Rabindranath Tagore’s rural university northwest of Calcutta. There Ray, whose interests had been exclusively urban and Western-oriented, was exposed to Indian and other Eastern art and gained a deeper appreciation of both Eastern and Western culture, a harmonious combination that is evident in his films.

(His Famous Works)

Ray's first film, Pather Panchali (1955) won eleven international prizes, including the inaugural Best Human Document award at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. This film, along with Aparajito (1956) and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) (1959), form The Apu Trilogy. Ray did the scripting, casting, scoring, and editing, and designed his own credit titles and publicity material. He also authored several short stories and novels, primarily for young children and teenagers. Popular characters created by Ray include Feluda the sleuth, Professor Shonku the scientist, Tarini Khuro the storyteller, and Lalmohan Ganguly the novelist.

(Filmmaking Style)

His Filmmaking

Ray had been subconsciously paying a tribute to Jean Renoir throughout his career, who influenced him the most.Ray considered script-writing to be an integral part of direction. Initially he refused to make a film in any language other than Bengali. In his two non-Bengali feature films, he wrote the script in English; translators adapted it into Hindustani under Ray's supervision.The narrative structure of Ray's films are represented by musical forms such as sonata, fugue and rondo. Kanchenjunga, Nayak and Aranyer Din Ratri are examples of this structure.

(His Filmography)

Ray made over 36 feature film in his 4 decade long. He made movies such as Pather Panchali in 1955,Aparajito in 1956,Parash Pathar and Jalsaghar in 1958, Apur Sansar in 1959, Devi in 1960. He made movies such as Teen Kanya in 1961, Kanchenjungha and Abhijan in 1962,Mahanagar in 1963,Charulata and Two I'm 1964,Kapurush-0-Mahapurush in 1965,Nayak in 1966,Chiriyakhana in 1967,Goopy Gyne & Bagha Byne in 1969,Aranyer Din Ratri and Pratiwandi in 1970, Seemabaddha and Sikkim in 1971,Inner Eyes in 1972,Ashani Sanket in 1973,Sonar Kella in 1974,Jana Aranyw in 1975,Bala in 1976,Shatranj ka Khilari in 1977,Joi Baba Felunath in 1979,Hirak Rajar Deshe and Pikoo in 1980,Sadgati in 1981,Ghare Bhare in 1984,Sukumar Ray in 1987,Ganashatru and Shakha Proshakha in 1990,Agantuk in 1990.

He also won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival

(Legacy)

Ray is considered one of the greatest film directors of all time. He is a cultural icon in India and in Bengali communities worldwide. Following his death, the city of Calcutta came to a virtual standstill, as hundreds of thousands of people gathered around his house to pay their last respects. Ray's influence has been widespread and deep in Bengali cinema; many Bengali directors, including Aparna Sen, Rituparno Ghosh and Gautam Ghose as well as Vishal Bhardwaj, Dibakar Banerjee, Shyam Benegal and Sujoy Ghosh from Hindi cinema in India, Tareq Masud and Tanvir Mokammel in Bangladesh, and Aneel Ahmad in England, have been influenced by his craft.Beyond India, filmmakers Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, James Ivory, Abbas Kiarostami, Elia Kazan, William Wyler,François Truffaut, John Huston, Carlos Saura, Isao Takahata, Oliver Stone,Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson,Danny Boyle and Christopher Nolan.

“I don’t like to be too articulate about it because it’s all there in the films. One has to see the films and read them. I don’t begin by formulating a moral attitude and then making a film. I think it’s the business of the critic to form his own conclusions. I don’t want to add footnotes to it. I’m very unwilling to do that.”
