Tagore Beyond Boundaries

The overall goal of the project Tagore Beyond Boundaries is to propagate Rabindrasangeet to a global community.  Rabindrasangeet, the genre of music created by the Indian Nobel Laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore, embodies a breathtaking fusion of his poetic genius and musicianship. Transcribed in western classical notation, the most popular and established language of the musical world, Rabindrasangeet has the potential to easily establish itself as a world music genre. 

Our goal is to create a selected compilation of 500 Rabindrasangeet in western classical notation system, encapsulating the creative breadth and depth of Tagore’s songs. The ultimate product will consist of western classical notations in print as well as digital versions, including portable document format (PDF) of the main song along with lyrics, English translations, chord charts, mp3 audio and Midi files of the music in piano and symphonic orchestra formats.
