notes

Eight Ragas, Hindoostanee Airs and Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram published by Koustic Music (BMI). Lou Harrison "Jahla's" published by Lou Harrison Estate. Thanks to Charles Hanson for permissions regarding all Lou Harrison music. Special thanks to performance sponsors Talat & Kamil Hasan, Thomas Kailath, Anuradha Luther Maitra, Kiran & Arjun Malhotra.

Recorded at University of California at Santa Cruz Recital Hall, March 2010

This recording is performed in a tuning devised by Linda Burman-Hall to achieve intervals that are mostly pure against the tonic pitch, yet still allows for harmonic exploration when performed with great care.

Raga & Raj was made possible by a grant from The Creative Work Fund: Supporting New Work by Bay Area Artists and by a program of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund, supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and The James Irvine Foundation.
