Narayan Gopal Song Analysis

Improved Essays
I wish that I own a vocal phonation to sing Narayan Gopal’s songs. I know I can’t sing. I have a deep note of voice sinking into the throat. When I want to throw out my voice to sing, I have my voice stuck in the larger soundboard of the adam’s apple.

When I was first drawn to Narayan Gopal’s music on the youtube, I have no idea who he was. I am only simply searching on the internet for Nepali classics and I want to find some songs of these Nepali classics which are composed in slow tempo beats. I found a long list of Narayan Gopal’s songs in the youtube. Many of his youtube videos are made available for downloading into MP3. His music is richly orchestrated by the harmonium, tabla, violin, and it will not do proper without a woodwind of a flute.

Listening to Narayan Gopal’s classic music, we don’t need a sound booster. All we need is to play it over the speakers at a soft volume. Keep the volume between a soft earshot in a soothing spread so that we feel for his music. Then sit back with a cup of tea and relax, and humming while listening to it. Narayan Gopal’s - Kehi Mitho Baat Gara, translates as - Honour a Sweet Talk. I copied the lyrics of this song from the internet. The original lyrics written in Nepali are translated in Roman alphabets. I really wish that I could sing this song, softly but with all my heart

I choose a long list of MP3 songs sang by Narayan Gopal and attached them over the media player on the laptop. The MP3 songs are set to string along with me at night until I fall into sleep. At most time, I will let the MP3 songs run on the player until the following morning. I will only switch off the media player when I get up from the bed in the morning. Kehi Mitho Baat Gara has quick become a darling number-one to me that mellows my heart whenever I listen to it. There are versions of Kehi Mitho Baat Gara, sang by other Nepali

As a result, vocal folds with more tension will have a higher pitch while those with less tension will have a lower pitch. There are 3 different vocal registers; Modal Register, Falsetto, and Glottal Fry. Modal Register is the normal pitch that uses the cover and part of the body layers of the vocal folds. The vocal folds vibrate normally during this modal register, and the pitch is at a comfortable level.…
