The predominant thematic elements of the 'Cantique en cinq versets' are confined to Eastern
Raga systems, although developed according to Western traditions in polyphonic presentation
with all the variabilities of modulation.
In Eastern music there is a basic confinement to a certain number of specific Ragas, the structure
of which is immutable as opposed to Western harmonic systems which are structured in line
with various modulatives theories.
The term Raga, which is generally translated as 'Melodic Formula', should actually be regarded
as being a definition of something much more complex than just a specific mode or scale.
It implies the formulation of emotions, and as such invokes a particular conditioning which can
be described as the process of 'Tuning the Heart'.
This composition is a Suite of Sacred Hindu dances, each of which is preceded by the same
basic opening theme which leads the way into each of the five verses.
These verses or 'Chants without words' are meant to be devotional expressions
of worship to the Almighty Grace.
in homage to the Mahatma Gandhi
