HI I would really love to know the meaning of your song 'sawaan'. It is so organic and pretty, exactly what I'm looking for for my bridal entrance but I fear that the meaning is not appropriate?

Hi Nalini,
Sawaan is a song about longing for ones lover and the pain of separation felt by her whilst he is away.
I hope that is helpful and congratulations on your wedding :)
Best wishes,

Niraj

Hello Niraj

Firstly I'd like to compliment your work having watched the BBC program "World's Busiest Railway". The soundtrack at the start really captured my imagination and attention; helping to make the program even more exciting.

Does the intro soundtrack to the documentary have a name and is it available to listen to in full please?

Many thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
The piece at the start is actually the pre-title music. It is an overview of the programme. The music hasnt been made available publicly but i do have one of the pieces on my souncloud. See link below:

Is it possible to purchase a copy of sheet music for your composition for the music to Simon Schama's Turner program on his Power of Art DVD?

Hi Christine,
Thanks for your question. Sheet music was never commissioned for the POA series so sadly isnt available to purchase. Ill keep you updated should that ever change though.

Best wishes,

Niraj

"Bangles" has been one of my favorite songs ever since I first heard it in '07, and I only just recently found a transliterated version of the lyrics (despite much searching; hope they're correct: https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Niraj-Chag/Bangles). Before then, I had to try and do up a phonemic approximation (if that's what you'd call it)... and I know NOTHING about Punjabi phonology.

Long story short, I was wondering if you have a version written in Gurumukhī? Just to complete the set.

Hi Sedge,
Unfortunately a Gurumukhi version was never written.
Gurumukhi is a beautiful language and your idea is very interesting though!

Niraj

Hi Niraj, I absolutely love your music! I was wondering if there was sheet music available for It's Life? Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your email! Im really pleased that you enjoy my music.
Unfortunately we have never printed sheet music for any of my albums.

If that ever does change and we do a print run then you will be the first to know! :)

Warm wishes,

Niraj

Hi Niraj, I LOVE your music, my question is silly, are you ticklish? If yes, where are your tickly spots? :)

Hi Jo,
Interesting question!
I used to be ticklish as a kid but now i have found a secret technique to control it. Im like a Jedi! ;)

Niraj

When are you performing in London? Your tracks are amazing!!!!

Thank you for your kind words Penny! No performances planned for this year but a new album is coming soon. :)

Hello! I was wondering if the score for The Power of Art is available? The score for Turner's episode blew me away and I would love to listen to it more.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your message! Im really pleased that you enjoyed the POA score. I had a wonderful time working on it. I am developing some of the pieces from my previous scores into an album and i will certainly keep you updated with any future release plans.

All the best,

Niraj

Who is the artist for the terrific blues backing track used during Ian Stewarts commentary for Rise of the Continents Australia - Coober Pedy. Would love to hear this again.... Michael

Hi Michael,

What is the time code at which the track appears in the programme?

Best,

Niraj

Do you have any gigs coming up in London? Would love to see you live.

Hi Shilpa,

Nothing set in stone yet but i am planning to release a new album this year so will hopefully do a concert to coincide with it :)

Best wishes,

Niraj
