Ustad Rashid Khan performs an Alaap in kirwani raga. Raga means musical modes and kirwani is a harmonic scale similar to minors in western music. Since the piece is done in minor tone it gives off a soothing tone at a slow melodic pace. The theme of the song focuses on Ustad's voice and there are some ornaments that I could identify at the cadence. The texture of the music is homophony and the music in the background sounds synthetic.
