America the Beautiful combined with Indian Raga -- America/Desh by Reena Esmail
This arrangement intertwines “America the Beautiful” with a melody in Raag Desh (from the Hindustani classical tradition of India). Desh means ‘country’ in Hindi (the reason why South Asians often refer to themselves as ‘desi’ - meaning ‘of the country’. It implies a unity that precedes Partition, and acknowledges that there was a time where India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were not divided into separate countries, as they are now.)
The “America the Beautiful” of India is called Vande Mataram. Just like America the Beautiful, it also celebrates these beautiful, varied landscapes, in a vast country filled with so many natural treasures. Vande Mataram is, unsurprisingly, in Raag Desh.
For immigrants, the love of country is often as much for America as for their country of origin, and I hope this arrangement evokes a sense of multi-national pride, especially among the ever-growing population of South Asians living in America.

Very helpful, I am an American living in India and have to count using Teental in my Kathak dance class, but wasn't able to grasp all of this since I don't understand Hindi.
It jist popped in my feed. I thought it was something that flew. My thoughts: "how is flying and indian drone different from any other drone"
I love that atmosphere ❤
😌
Absolutely beautiful 🤩
Interesting take, very lovely!
❤
Love this
🙏
This is so, so beautiful!
🎶💕
Absolutely stunning, and so moving. Thank you for this!
aww, thank you Ann! <3

Great. Today is a day I wish altos weren't so neglected by the world.
Amazing! I’m a music ed major at Boise State University, hoping to be a secondary level choir director. Really love your work!!🙏

Its not patakom
Such a great piece and performance! Perfect pacing and engaging throughout.
❤
I heard this performed about 8 months ago, and absolutely loved it! Amazing work as always!
Coda! Have been thinking of all of you from Greenwood so much this summer - there's a new set of four more miniatures for This Is It now (8 total). Video will be up from Spoleto festival soon. Hope you're well!
brilliant!
As beautiful as usual ❤ I enjoyed my listening ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your music touches the soul ❤ and what about this inspired performance ❤
Beautiful music. Lyrics would aid our comprehension.
amazing!
Beautiful!
Thank you. I wished you had explained the meaning of each Mudra. Can it be used in Bollywood or dance yoga and what are the no nos?
beautiful english language
pretty nice, for sure
I'm out of words..... just beautiful.....
Phenomenal, beautiful composition and visuals
You are quickly becoming my favorite current composer. So glad to see you putting out new choral works! This is spellbinding. Also, is that A I'm hearing in the last chord a harmonic from the basses??
SO. GOOD.
Beautiful and touching ❤️ Reena, your compositions are just amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing ❤
Aw, thank you!
A gorgeous and profoundly stirring fusion of word and music. High in the vault of meaning, this work speaks to our inner truths.
Incredible sound with video to match. <3
Thank you so much!
Exquisite writing 🎉and performance 🎉
So gorgeous! And that soprano soloist, WOW. ;) Your music is stunning, Reena. ❤
Aw thank you for being a part of it Michele! 🥰
I'd have to have a stone head and heart to not be moved by this. Beautifully done by all --- thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful piece and performance!
🎶💕
I love this composer!!💕💜
My schools choir did this and it was crazy but good
wow that piece really hit home, loved it!
Deliciously beautiful Reena! Bravo to your fantastic musicians!
We’re singing this piece for Allstate this year and oh my goodness it’s so awesome. It’s funny because we did TeRaKiTa for a summer camp I did the same summer. But this piece was definitely a struggle for tons of people, but this was so much fun to audition on and will be amazing to perform in the big ensemble.
I'm also singing this for all-state!!
Me too!
this one of the allstate chorus pieces this year and by god it’s insane
I’m guessing you’re from Iowa as well.
Needed! 😇 grateful for this tutorial!
