Creativity of Rabindranath (1880-1881)

After about 1 and 1/2 years stay in England Rabindranath returned back to in first week of   Kolkata with Satyendranath and others in the firat week of Chaitra 1286. The reactions from his friends and relatives , Rabindraanath expressed, were about his voice for singing.While at home he was impressed on seeing Irish Melodies of Thomas Moore and hearing the recitations of the poems by Akshoy Choudhury .In England he grasped the idea of singing them but lost the eagerness of learning all for those poems did not express  the  ideas of poets . Returning to Kolkata he sung these songs and other songs of foreign tunes. All remarked that the voice of Rabindranath had changed completely. In fact he went to England at the age of 17 and came back at the age of 19, the cross road of change of male voice.
Immediately after his returning home Raabindranath took part in Manmayee Geeti natya. Pravat Kumar Mukhopadhyay wrote, " Jyotirindranath's manmayee Geeti natya was composed of a mixture national and foreign tunes."
