Some songs mimicked a given raga's melody and rhythm faithfully others newly blended elements of different ragas.
They emulated the tonal color of classical ragas to varying extents. Influenced by the thumri style of Hindustani music, they ran the entire gamut of human emotion, ranging from his early dirge-like Brahmo devotional hymns to quasi-erotic compositions. Rabindra Sangeet merges fluidly into Tagore's literature, most of which-poems or parts of novels, stories, or plays alike-were lyricised. The Bhanushingher Podaboli songs are based on his own life experiences and happenstance. Tagore created some six new taals (Which were actually inspired by Carnatic Talas) because he felt the traditional taals existing at the time could not do justice and were coming in the way of the seamless narrative of the lyrics.The Rabindrasangeet contains various sections or 'parjay' such as 'prem','prakriti','bhanusingher podaboli',etc. Lyrics and music both hold almost equal importance in Rabindra Sangeet. The music is mostly based on Hindustani classical music, Carnatic Classical Music, Western tunes and the inherent Folk music of Bengal and inherently possess within them, a near perfect balance, an endearing economy of poetry and musicality. and is filled with expressions of romanticism. It is characterised by its distinctive rendition while singing which includes a significant amount of ornamentation like meend, murki, etc.
