Describe some of the pitch aspects of the selection, including when in elapsed seconds, the singer ...

0:000:06Drone (electronically-produced) starts out alone playing the tonal center and a perfect fifth above the tonal center and continues to sustain this musical interval throughout the recording thereby anchoring the tonality of the singer's melody. Against this unchanging background a single melody unfolds.
 0:07singer enters with raga-based solo, a highly decorated melody with many embellishing tones (intense ornamentation) some of which are smaller intervals than the Western half-step (microtonal from a Western's point of view), imparting a strong non-Western (Indian) flavor to the melody. (A note' can be a tiny constellation of ornamented pitches.)
 The vocal soloist often glides/slides to and around the important notes of the melody making the melody sound very complex to a Westerner's ears that may be used to symmetrical and relatively unembellished melodies.
