	Kirana West: Pandit Pran Nath Bio
		Pran Nath's performances on All India Radio since 1937 and at Music Conferences throughout India established his reputation as a leading interpreter of Kirana style with an exceptional knowledge of traditional compositions and the delineation of raga.
		Pandit Pran Nath's first appearance in the West in 1970 essentially introduced the vocal tradition of Hindustani classical music to the U.S. He performed throughout America, as well as in Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Iran and France, becoming the most influential exponent of the Kirana style.
		Pran Nath's majestic expositions of the slow alap sections of ragas combined with his emphasis on perfect intonation and the clear evocation of mood had a profound impact on Western contemporary composers and performers.

	On Pandit Pran Nath (1918-1996)
		Pran Nath could believe what he did because he never set himself the task of confronting modern science. (And because his native culture did not drive him to the brend critique—see the note at the end.)
		Pran Nath thought his music worshipped God. Very well, J. Bach would have said the same thing. And so would Hindemith. Pran Nath believed that music possessed an absolute truth. Then J. Bach’s music would be an absolute truth.
		Pandit Pran Nath could disregard punk as long as his sponsors were able to assemble audiences for him. If there were those who viewed Pandit Pran Nath and punk as interchangeable entertainments of an evening, that is troubling—but Guruji could remain unaware of it.

		I found that when I was studying with Pandit Pran Nath I was learning on a level that was far beyond the level I was learning on before.
		And Pandit Pran Nath said that you absolutely cannot learn raga in school, it cannot be done.
		And it's interesting that of the three things you mentioned that shaped your music, a decade before you even met Pandit Pran Nath, you were hearing Indian music, improvising with jazz musicians, but also hearing and studying the music of Webern, who had this very special relationship to a teacher.

	Pran Nath (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Pandit Pran Nath is more well-known for his connections with American minimalism and his own "creature music" (as it was called in the newsgroup) than for his classical singing.
		However, this recording from the Kirana archives (made in 1968) should dispel any doubts as to whether he is a capable traditional singer.
		The precise intonation is superb, and this recital is indeed a valuable example of the less well-known Northern Kirana style.

		FRANK J. At the same time that you were studying raga, immersing yourself in Indian classical music and giving your all to your guru, you were also actively pursuing your work as a composer and your work as a performer in non-Indian music with The Well-Tuned Piano.
		You said that Pandit Pran Nath heard it Rome.
		So I accept that context, but even so, Pandit Pran Nath was a miracle of God, literally.

		It features an earlier 1971 recording of a live performance of Raga Malkauns that was one of his most intense and powerful, and a 1976 studio performance of the same raga and the same compositions, that is both well-recorded and extremely masterful.
		Pran Nath inspired and taught the likes of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Marian Zazeela, Rhys Chatham and Henry Flynt before passing away in 1996.
