Dear devotees

 

PAMHO AGTSP

 

I'm looking for notation of original tunes that were played by Srila

Prabhupada himself.

 

He often played harmonium and devotees recorded it and most of it in a good

shape. However I'm looking for a chance to actually see recorded notations

in Western or SaReGaMa notation system

 

I do have Srila Prabhupadas mridanga beat in MIDI format and notation to it

that he himself gave to devotees. But it is the melodic notations that I

cannot find.

 

If anyone knows were to find it or know players who are able to document it

please contact me.

 

Srila Prabhupada played a few very very nice songs like Sri Siksastakam and

Gaura Arati by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura -- does anyone have notations for

them?

 

To give an example of melody that is somewhat lost -- Jaya Radha Madhava

that Srila Prabhupada introduced himself to our tradition as a bhajan for

Bhagavatam -- it is being played in so many ways different to Srila

Prabhupadas original mood/melody. Does anyone know the original melody that

Srila Prabhupada used? There is no recording of it, but what about the story

when he SPECIFICALLY stopped on the way to Mayapur to sing this bhajan in

Radha Madhava temple. Could this melody be recreated or does anyone have

notations for this particular melody that Srila Prabhupada himself loved.

 

Of course his kirtan melodies are quite different. He was particular in a

way? There are some sa-re-ga-ma notation (1) for the main "happenings" tune

given by Vyasaki Prabhu on his 80s videotape. Anything closer to the

original? What about the really nice Govinda Jaya Jaya kirtan that Srila

Prabhupada himself lead?

 

I'm sure any form or transposition of MIDI (if someone has a midi

compatible keyboard) (in MIDI1 or MIDI0 format) or even just a probhad in Sa

Re Ga Ma style will be very nice to have and share.

 

I know most of books by devotees in recent years, but maybe someone has

scans of older books if there are notations of the particular melodies by

our Founder Acarya.

 

Thank you very much in advance. And promise to share it.

 

Your servant
