Pandit Ramashreya Jha is a famous composer and male vocalist in Hindustani Classical music. He was the Head of the Department of Music in Allahabad University from 1980 to 1989. In 2005, he received the Sangeet Natak Academi Award for excellence in Hindustani Classical Music. He has created many ragas and is the author of the five-volume Abhinava Geetanjali, which is a must-have for students of Hindustani classical music. It encapsulates critical analysis of ragas with numerous traditional and self-conceived compositions. More popularly known to musicians, students, music lovers, by his pseudonym ‘Ramrang’, his compositions display a sensitive, comprehensive and scholastic approach to music
[edit] Brief Life History
Ramashreya Jha was born on August 11, 1928, near Darbhanga in the Mithila region of Bihar. His early mentors were his father, Sukhdev Jha, and his uncle, Madhusudan Jha. Afterwards, he spent 25 years in Allahabad at the ashram of his guru, Bholanath Bhatt. Ramrang mastered the fundamentals of all the following forms of classical music: Dhrupad, Dhamar, Khayal, Thumri, Dadra, Tappa. He also had the benefit of instruction from other vidwans such as B.N. Thakar of Allahabad and Habib Khan of Kirana. He spent about 15 years of his youth with a drama company in Varanasi, which helped widen his musical vistas.
[edit] Achievements
In 1968, he was appointed to the faculty of Allahabad University and later in 1980 elevated to the position of Head of the Music Department. This singular move by the University was in recognition of genuine merit for Ramrang holds no formal degrees. He retired from active professorial duty in 1989.
In 2005, Ramashreya Jha “Ramrang” received the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award.
‘Today, as he has done for the past 6 decades, Ramrang spends his waking moments immersed in the contemplation and creation of music. True to his calling as one of the greatest vaggeyekaras of all time, Ramrang’s intellectual wanderlust shows no sign of abating; every day turns in a new insight or a new asthAi. In this context he lends meaning to Einstein’s memorable words: “Only in Science and Art are we permitted to remain children all our lives.”
‘Although Ramrang is known to devotees and students of music as the author of the Abhinava Geetanjali classics and as a composer extraordinaire, he has spent most of his musical life in relative isolation, away from the glare of public adulation, and on the fringes of the community of active performing musicians. This is entirely in keeping with his character and inner conviction that music is a lifelong sAdhanA of intellectual and emotional discipline, not a source of pelf.
‘In summing up the musical life of Ramashreya Jha “Ramrang,” the understated flourish of Professor G.H. Hardy in his essay A Mathematician’s Apology comes to mind: “Whatever we do may be small, but it has a certain character of permanence; and to have produced anything of the slightest permanent interest…is to have done something utterly beyond the powers of the vast majority of men.”‘ From A Stroll in Ramrang’s Garden by Rajan Parrikar
Pandit Jha is especially known for his beautiful musical compositions, readily identified by his colophon "Ramrang." Now 79 years old, his creative genius remains undiminished. As a vidwan, Pandit Jha has no peers. He is of the same class as Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande for the depth, width, and analytical acumen he brings to Music. He is also an effective teacher and among his well-known disciples are Shubha Mudgal and Geeta Banerjee.
Among the first to notice Jha-sahab's magnificent compositions and parlay them was our very own maestro, the late Jitendra Abhisheki.
