Abhogi (Ābhōgi) is a raga in Carnatic music and has been adapted to Hindustani music. [2] It is a pentatonic scale, an audava raga. [3] It is a derived scale (janya raga), as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes). Ābhōgi has been borrowed from Carnatic music into Hindustani music and is also quite popular in the latter. In ...
Puriya Dhanashree is a raga in Hindustani classical music. It belongs to the Purvi thaat and has been derived from the defining raga of that thaat – Raga Purvi. The notes of Puriya Danashree correspond, in Western terms, to the double harmonic scale with an augmented fourth.
These two notes are known as achala swar ('fixed notes'). Each of the other five notes, Re, Ga, ma, Dha and Ni, can take a 'regular' ( shuddha ) pitch, which is equivalent to its pitch in a standard major scale (thus, shuddha Re , the second degree of the scale, is a whole-step higher than Sa), or an altered pitch, either a half-step above or ...
Bageshri is a very melodic raga in Carnatic music. [7] So, even though this scale has been used only in a few krithis (compositions), many devaranamas, ashtapadis, thiruppugazhs, and other lyrics have been set to tune in this raga. It is typically sung in concerts after the main piece, in viruttams, padams, bhajans, and ragamalika. [7]
Since the scale has 5 notes ascending and all 7 descending, the resulting jāti is Audav–Sampūrṇa. [1] It is performed in the early afternoon, from 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. (the third prahar of the day). [4] Use of dhaivat and rishabh is symmetrical in that both are approached via the succeeding notes (D from Ṉ, and R from G̱).
Raga Bhairavi is often referred to as the queen of morning Ragas. It produces a rich, devotional atmosphere especially suitable for the genres of Bhajan and the light classical form of Thumri. The Rishabh and Dhaivat used here are oscillating which is strongly recommended in this Raga and it makes the Raag mood intense. [2]
Khamaj (IAST: Khamāj) is a Hindustani classical Music raga within the Khamaj thaat which is named after it.. Many ghazals and thumris are based on Khamaj. It utilises the shuddha (pure) form of Ni on the ascent, and the komala (flat) form of Ni on the descent, creating a key asymmetry in compositional and improvisational performance.
Kafi has a direct lineage with the folk music of India. Folk music in Tappa, Hori, Dadra, Kirtan and Bhajans from different parts of India have been composed in this raga. Many variations of Kafi exist. Contamination with vivadi swaras is common. This mixing has given rise to Mishra Kafi. Hence, a pure form of Kafi is seldom heard.
