Sheet music for kirtan:

Post by PhluteMan »

Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Wahegri ji ki fateh.

Hello everyone. Does anyone have resources to get sheet music for kirtan pieces? I play the flute and was hoping to be able to find some sheet music, but it has proven difficult. If there is sheet music written for bansuri that would work for the flute I play, as well. Thanks.

Usually really hard to find. Most of the shabads are written in Indian music- Saregamapa so you could just translate those to sheet music if you know how to write music. I personally dont know the english system very well as I trained in classical Indian raags. I know that rarely one can find sheet music as I've seen someone else with it. Heres some sheet music I found online that you may not have seen. I found them searching "shabad sheet music" on google images

The next one has a lot. Its a pdf called "SONG AND MEMORY: “SINGING FROM THE HEART"

https://vimeo.com/28192330 Apparently this comes from a book Sikh Hymns for School so if you can find that it should have these western notes. There's a lot more vimeo videos withs shabads from the same. Its also on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceYgdAm-Q20
