}}Pandit '''Raghunath Seth''' (1931 – 15 February 2014) was a noted Indian exponent of [[Hindustani classical music]] through the medium of [[Bansuri]], or bamboo flute; he was also a noted film score composer. He has received [[Sangeet Natak Akademi Award]] in 1994, given by [[Sangeet Natak Akademi]], India's National Academy for Music, Dance and Drama.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sangeetnatak.org/sna/awardeeslist.htm |title=SNA: List of Akademi Awardees |publisher=[[Sangeet Natak Akademi]]Official website |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120217185616/http://www.sangeetnatak.org/sna/awardeeslist.htm |archivedate=17 February 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.activeindiatv.com/editorials/17528-death-of-another-legendary-musician-flutist-raghunath-seth-no-more |title=DEATH OF ANOTHER LEGENDARY MUSICIAN Flutist Raghunath Seth no more |publisher=Activeindiatv.com |date=16 February 2014 |accessdate=24 July 2014}}</ref>

As an Indian Classical Music Bamboo Flautist, he delighted his audiences and fans across the globe. His flute composition "Music to help you sleep" from the album Nidra has over 5.5 million views on YouTube.

His filmography included songs by stalwarts like Yesudas, Lata Mangeshkar, [[Asha Bhosle]], Anuradha Paudwal, Chithra, Kavita Krishnamurty, [[Alka Yagnik]], Bhupinder, Suresh Wadkar, Hariharan, [[Udit Narayan]] and more. "Yeh Paudhay Yeh Pattay", from the film "Ek Baar Phir", has been documented as Anuradha Paudwal's first film song.

His private albums included songs by Talat Mehmood, Asha Bhosle, Vani Jairam, Arti Mukherjee, Talat Aziz, Peenaz Masani, Sudha Malhotra, Hari Om Sharan and [[Sharma Bandhu]].

He scored music for around 2000 documentary films and many television serials. Several of them like, 'Ocean to Sky, 'The Last Tiger', 'Mughal Gardens' & 'Death Sentence' were widely recognised for their music scores as well. He also composed songs for the 1988 Malayalam film '[[Aranyakam|Aaranyakam]]', directed by Malayalam film director [[Hariharan (director)|Hariharan]], with lyrics by the late Malayalam poet [[O. N. V. Kurup]].

Pandit Raghunath Seth made many breakthroughs in the technique of flute making and playing. He is well known for adding a bamboo key to his bansuri that makes previously impossible phrases, such as the meend (Glissando) between Ma and Pa, easily playable. He also added an 8th hole which allows the player to extend the range of Indian bamboo flute, further into the lower octave.

As a flute guru, he has gifted the world with many fine disciples including: his son Apurva Shrivastava, Steve Gorn, Rao Kyao, Chris Hinze, Clive Bell, Sunil Gupta, Krishna Bhandari, Joshua Geisler, Chetan Joshi, Atul Sharma and Datta Chaughule.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/30/arts/critic-s-notebook-from-india-many-sounds-all-pulling-inward.html?pagewanted=1 |title=Critic's Notebook; From India, Many Sounds, All Pulling Inward |date=30 April 2001 |work=The New York Times |first=Ann |last=Powers}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/27/movies/pop-and-jazz-guide-042870.html?pagewanted=3 |title=Indian Classical Music |date=27 April 2001 |newspaper=The New York Times |page=3}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/02/04/movies/expect-the-world.html |title=Expect the World: Masters Of Indian Music |date=Expect the World |work=The New York Times}}</ref>
