By far the most famous of all sitar players, Ravi Shankar has long been a beacon of light for Indian music worldwide. SOUND OF THE SITAR is made up of four compositions. The first, "Raga Malkauns: Alap" is a slow, reflective piece. According to Shankar, the section of a raga known as the Alap is difficult to play because it is an invocation, a prayer meant to be performed with great humility. The second piece is, "Raga Malkauns: Jo. The Jor section of a raga is based on a rhythmic pulse and does not a have a strict rhythmic time cycle like the Alap.

Alap and Jor in Raga Malkauns:- Among the more profound ragas of Hindustani music, Malkauns holds a place of its own. As compared to some other ragas in its class, its structure is simple, and yet it lends itself to expressions of great sublimity, and in the hands of a sensitive musician like Ravi Shankar, becomes almost the personification of majestic dignity. The piece opens with an aochar on sitar in the evening raga 'jait'. The sitar then introduces the rhythmic cycle i this raga providing a melodic reference to the performance on the tabla.
