Pancharatnam is a song written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1785. It is one of his most famous songs. The title means "Five Fragrances". The lyrics are about the five senses - sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. It has been translated into several languages including English, French and Japanese. This song has been sung at occasions such as birthdays or wedding receptions for many years in Scotland so it has become a traditional part of Scottish culture. There have even been parodies made of the lyrics to this song by artists such as Lordi in Finland and Alanis Morissette in Canada during their concerts. In 1966 when the Apollo 8 mission was orbiting the moon, NASA placed a small plaque in the lunar module which had been named Columbia carrying this song along with "Here Am I" by Martin Luther King, Jr. The song was placed there to celebrate human achievement around the moon. According to Dictionary of National Biography Robert Burns also wrote a poem entitled "The Simple Boy"; however, that poem appears to be a different work from his song. The best edition of that poem is a 1796 edition published in Glasgow and it is not universally accepted as being ‘by’ Burns. This song is sung as a duet with the first person as the five senses and the second person as the "simple boy". The song starts with all of the five senses asking him how he would feel if he had no sense of touch, sight, smell, taste and sound. Each verse then asks a different question about what it would be like if they were not there and then ends with "Would you be sorry or sorry that you hadn't been born; Or would you try to live your life in peace; But very sorry that we couldn't be friends." The lyrics can also be sung by one singer on their own. The song is in the key of G major. The accompaniment chords are G major, A minor, D major, B minor and E minor. These are restated at the end of each verse. The song has been arranged for various instruments including accordion, piano, brass quartet, string orchestra and indie rock band. There are even some people who perform it by singing or playing all five parts themselves. It can also be found on many albums in the world of music including in the "More Scottish Fiddle Music" by Charlie Lennon where it is played in a medley with other traditional Scottish tunes. There are several different recordings of this song by artists such as the Crouch End Festival Chorus, the Cravyn String Quartet, Eddie Reader and Joan Sutherland. This song has been translated into several languages including Swedish, Dutch, French and Japanese. Burns transcribed the tune for this poem to the traditional Scottish strathspey "The Piper's Maggot". This has been performed by many artists including Sarah McQuaid on "Singing in the Kitchen" (2002). Another version is performed by Anne Loney on "The Gift" (2004). Dr John Blake played it with guitar on "Sensuous Steel" (1990). The Sherborne Chamber Choir also performs it regularly. cfa1e77820
