In terms of baroque dance, this bhajan is “bourrée-ish”; the characteristic pickup enters in the second phrase.
In this arrangement I wrote out a lightly-varied repeat, mainly in order to achieve more convenient page turns in a printed collection of five bhajans. Inserting a blank page would have done the trick but why leave a page blank when one can ornament? I wonder how many structural or notational choices in other works have their origins in such practicalities!
When I took my pile of loose pages to the print shop, the woman who was helping me made one copy to check before making more. All was fine except that two pages appeared upside down. Kali, Tara, and Durga were doing headstands! And they were a very determined group of goddesses. The photocopy clerk was flummoxed at why the machine kept rotating just these two pages when the rest of the booklet was right-way up. Eventually Tara showed her compassion and convinced her friends to come down. Jaya!
