Plz listen to the Indian God Md rafi ❤️❤️❤️the legend
React to 'Kanada raja pandharicha Mahesh Kale Sur nava dyas nava' 🔥
Before watching the video, i request you to kindly react to Anuja Kamat speech in TED X India.🙏🙏
Chalan means "walk"... Just take a few classes from anuja... :D we'd love to see it
For your information
Komal (soft) = flat notes
Tivra (sharp)= sharp notes
Shuddha (pure) = natural notes
chalan: gait
Chalan: is a way of saying how the raag walks… what is the typical way notes follow each other, where they rest, where they are emphasized
Chalan: gait
Chanel: perfume brand
:-P
Hei why don't you kind of interview her to know more about Indian classical songs
That would be great. I'll see if I can get in touch with her
@@HofTheStage The song she sang, you got to give your reaction on it. It's one of my favorite song, It's name is :- Jhanak Jhanak tori baaje payaliya.
@@HofTheStage that will be interesting . At least to understand a proper basics of indian music, so you will correlate your existing knowledge of western singing with indian type, and also will use proper terms. If you find also another good teacher and record few lessons - that will be also very entertaining :)
@@HofTheStage Actually the Pentatonic Scale you talked about would probably be the Raag Bhupali or what she called Raag "Bhoop" in your previous video featuring her.
Raag Bihag is 5 in ups and 7 in downs.
Raag Bihag : Aroga : C-E-F-G-B-C'
Abarohan : C'-B-A-G-F-E-D-C
Aroga literally means Going upwards, ascending.
And Abaroha or Abarohan means Coming down, descending.
Actually she is still busy researching more on Hindustani classical music as mentioned in her channel
Shuddha means pure/ clean. But shuddhata means purity.🙏👍
In music, shuddha or pure notes are the major scale notes
It's the hindi meaning but when it comes to classic music sudha means natural
Yes and komal notes means variant.
@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi Komal means soft
Shuddha in music doesn't mean pure. Just the natural major notes. Komal means flat. Teevra means sharp.
Vocabulary to remember;
Komal:soft pitch
Suddha= normal pitch
Madra= low pitch
Teevra= high pitch..
Chalan= pattern or movement
Gamakas= bridge(connecting notes/scales)
Shringaar-Raag= Cosmetic Raag.
Sonih Raag= Complaint Raag.
Bhairav-Raag= Wiseman/Devotee Raag.
(Timeline-6am/8am)
Do you learn Indian classical?
Its Shringaar Ras not Shringaar Raag. Shringaar Ras is style of poetry where context is love between actor and actress. It is of two kind Sanyog Shringaar (joyful) and viyog Shringaar (sad)
a Chalan is an extensive series of note patterns which summarises the development of a particular raga. It discloses the basic grammar of the raga and provides a treatment and melodic context of each tone. Chalan is the movement of a raga or development of a raga
Raag Bihag is not a major pentatonic scale like "C D E G A" . it uses five notes but it's like "B C E F G" (where C = the root note, or 'saa') . F sharp is used occasionally while descending from G.
I felt what he played thinking bihag matched with rag bhup more. It was like sa re ga pa dha sa.
@@nidhichoudhury5617 no, he played raag durga . He just played the Black keys, he told that too in that . He didn't used the notes ga , instead of that he played the note (ma) , whose use is against the rules of representing raag bhup
Pentatonic would be like Raag Bhupali right ?
@@priyanshu3549 Ya But Durga has different flavour to it. The tones doesn't match. It sounded close to Bhupali, I think.
@@prasanna3378 no, pentatonic scale is raag durga ,whose notes are :- sa re ma pa dha så (all Black keys only ) . At 13:04 he had also mentioned that he have just played the Black keys . But he didn't played the note 'ga' and have used "ma" :- whose use is against the rule of presenting raag bhoopali . So it's not raag bhoopali .
The base note in the background or the background music is actually called Shruti..so based on your voice range you can choose the respective Shruti, for example I can't sing high notes really high cause my vocal cords don't support it, so in this case we choose a lower Shruti and then singing these higher notes becomes easier. So how High or low you can go can change with Shruti.
Shuddha means the regular note in a mode/scale. "Komal" means "Flattened" and "Teevra" means "Sharpened" notes.
If you consider A as the Shuddha note, then Komal A should be A-(flat) and Teevra A should be A+(sharp). Hope that makes sense.
The last one is like you are sad but you express that sadness with a smile on your voice , like you recognise your miseries and downfall but you are unbothered , so it's sad but with a smile
Komal= Soft
Chalan= Walk (Speed)
Shuddha= Pure
Teevra= Sharp

Chalan (literally) means character of somebody. So in simple term chalan is a sample phrase prescribed for a raag. When you listen to chalan you can feel the real character of raag. Unless you use chalan in composition in right manner you cannot get character of raag in your composition.
My way of looking at it. Apologies if it's not very accurate.
@@yndesai ........we have often heard the phrase Chaal Chalan.....so while chaal would refer to the walk, chalan would refer to how we should conduct ourselves ! So while you are right , Mayur is not wrong either ! Chaal is the outer personification of the inner moral conduct ! I think that would be the literal meaning . So in any given raag, chalan would be how certain notations , phrases are used to characterize a certain raag, making it unique in itself.
@@smitasharma6072 I am not saying anyone is wrong or right. I added one more Point of view. As it helps understand things at different levels. Someone who is non Indian: Walk and Speed would be interpreted more as Tempo.
@@smitasharma6072 can't we say chalan is 'manner' or how to go about it, how it's done.
Komal = Flat
"Ras" (lit.=Juice) meaning the emotional essence. There are 9 basic emotions as percieved by the human mind, all emotions are but a combination of these rasas.
Ras = essence
Man..your reactions to her videos is God sent..Beautiful reaction..
Bravo!!
How he says this raag feels like giving up on life and that's exactly what it was...
The word "chalan" literally means movement. So "chalan of a raag" means the movement of the raag, how the raag moves through the notes. "Thaat" is kind of like a baseline and raags are built up on that baseline composed of some notes. Raags belongs to same Thaats have similarities. I hope that will help you understand raags a bit better.
The major pentatonic scale that you played..CDEGA is called raag Bhoop. Bihag does NOT use the same notes. Raag Bihag is in fact octatonic and uses natural F for ascending notes and F sharp for descending notes. And chalan literally means walk or movement. It is like a key phrase to identify the raag. The key phrase for Bihag in C scale would be E F G B A G F# E, E F E C
I thought it sounded like bhoop but wasn't sure.
The drone instrument that maintains the pitch is ‘Tanpura’! The Sa or the C is not constant! Depending on the singer the Sa is a floating Sa that is set on the Tanpura!
The oscillation she mentioned can be compared to the micro notes which are more identifiable in case of the string instruments when you slide your fingers from one note to another one with a time lag.
suddha swar = true notes/major notes
teevra/tivra swar = minor notes
chalan = appearance/note patterns of a raag
13:15 u got it somewhat right, but not everything right.... exactly all the black keys u played in your piano makes the raag "maalkosh" in our classical music.... when u played it, I instantly started singing raag maalkosh and some songs made up of that raag ❤️
and 14:08 all the notes u played make raag "bhupali"...its a beautiful raag & i first started learning when i was 10 and its been 20 yrs. now and it never got old! ❣️
The pentatonic scale you played at 14:07 is known as Raga Bhoop in Hindustani Classical music. It is one of the first ragas taught to students. The equivalent of Raga Bhoop in Carnatic Classical is Raga Mohanam.
What is the difference between Raag Bhoop , Bhoopali and Deshkar? Thank you
@@ashutoshramkumar5270 I think bhoop n bhoopali are same
@@neelchatterjee774 thank you very much 👍👍. Just have a doubt about Deshkar
@@ashutoshramkumar5270 Raag Bhoop and Bhoopali are same but Deshkar have similar notes with Bhoop but Chalan is different.. Deshkar is uttrang prakriti raag like Dha is Vadi swar but Bhoop is purvang prakriti raag which have Ga and Dha,(Mandra) as Vadi Samvadi swar
@@hrusikeshpanigrahi9173 Very Much appreciated. Thank you very much 👍👍. Am a huge Rasika of both Carnatic and Hindustani styles of music and trying to find the common grounds between them
The pentatonic scale that you played reminded my EXACTLY of the South Indian classical Carnatic ragam: Mohanam!! Listen to it! It sounds exactly like the scale you played. I was so excited I learned something new
Her video on "Thaat" is Amazing.
She specially made Two Videos - One in *English* , and another in *Hindi* . She's a flawless Teacher.
I and people like me love watching these kind of videos because as Indians we hear a lot about Raags but we don't know what or how to interpret it. Anuja does it for us. And seeing you, who is like us trying to understand gives me a friendly feeling. It's like when your friends studies a difficult subject for a exam and explains it to us.
Loved it. Last Raag Bhairavi is very peaceful raag. It is also used in meditation
Sa re ga ma pa dha ni = do re me fa so la ti respectively
'Shringar Ras' means a Mood represents Love,Affection.
SHUDDH = Pure
KOMAL= Soft (half note lower)
TEEVRA= Intense (half note higher)
And there are '10 Thaats' in Hindustani Classical Music.
And '72 Thaats(Melkarta ragas) in Carnatic Music.
And only Indian Music has these two types of Classical Music forms in the world........
I am proud of my India,our Music and Rich Culture.🙏🙏
20:20 That's another difference between Indian languages and english ,
Indian languages are perfect and exact in pronounciation and have no other alternative for pronounciation of the same word
Whereas in English there's a lot more confusion in pronunciation because there are alternatives
That's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard.
That instrument playing in the background is called tanpura
You are right about one thing. Bihaag is a slide-dominated raag. Sohni on the other hand plays in higher register.
Chalan means move/movement in Indian languages. (I'm not a musician)
I really appreciate your effort in learning classical music... It really takes many years of deep learning to achieve something in Indian classical music.. If u r so much interested.. I recommend u to learn Indian music from the root.. I guarantee u if u become thorough with Indian classical music.. U can sing any type of music in this world.. That is the power that Indian music holds..
Man you are really making an effort to understand this... Claps for you... It is too much to grasp even for an Indian..
Bhai, your display name ... made me chuckle uncontrollably 😂😂😂
Really appreciate the effort you are putting in understanding the technicalities of Indian classical music. Just for your reference :-
Suddha of any note - Pure Note (e.g. - C, D, E, F, G, A, B,C)
Tivra of any note - Sharp of a musical note (e.g. C#, D#, F#, G#, A#)
Komal of any note - Flat of a musical note (e.g. (A b, Bb, Db, Eb, Gb))
Indian music is all about Mastering and Playing with the notes😍
Quite interesting. Thank you for a different content video. 🎵❤️🎵
Komal = Soft or she is referring to flat notes
Shuddha = Pure or she is referring towards main notes
Chalan = movement or she is referring towards a particular pattern of notes
Teevra= sharp, referring towards sharp notes
As far as I understand, Raag's can be played on any particular scale notes but usually G# and C# scales are most popular. This needs to be validated.
Shuddha(natural) notes = notes from the major scale. (the notss in major scale are considered as shuddha notes in indian classical music)
Komal(flat) notes = Flatted notes(b)
Tivra(sharp) notes =Sharped notes(#)
Thaat = a set of notes from which the raags are created. (there are 10 thaats)
Raag vihaag = major scale along with #4th as well. (do re mi fa #fa so la ti ) with some rules.
Indian Music are tune to 432 Hz( rythm of life) rather than western's 440 Hz. That's why Indian music are calming & soothing.
Miya tansen's guru was Swamy haridas 🔥🔥
Legend guru who can bring rain 🌧️ or fire 🔥 by singing raag
Loved your explanations! I am learning too with you
Learning more from comments as well. Good video
The instrument you talked about at 18:01 is Tanpoora. It provides the basic notes of a scale in the background. Mostly the notes played are Sa Pa. Just like Harmonium, Tanpoora plays a crucial part in learning Hindustani Vocal music
You can take out "ge" from challenge to pronounce "Challen".
You have perceived it in the right sense H of the stage 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 every hindustani raag has it very own distinct unique flavour - there are more than 600 raags if I remember correctly
Ionion(natural major scale) - bilawal thaat
Aeolion(natural minir scale) - Asavari "
Lydian(major wid raised 4th) - Yaman or kalyan
Mixolydian(major wid lowered 7th) - Khamaj
Dorian(minor wid raised 6th) - Kafi
Phrygian(minor scale wid lower 2nd) - Bhairavi
Lòcrian(minor wid lower 2nd and 5th) - Raag todi
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti
C D E F G A B
Teevra = Sharp
Manda = Flat
Shudhdha = Pure
Chalan = Flow
4th one, Ascetic would be a more appropriate word compared to stoic. He is more into spirituality and not concerned about the worldly to and fro of joys and sorrows
19:36 "sa ni, sa mi na"
My brain: "saminamina eh eh waka waka eh eh.. 😅
😹
🤣🤣🤣
Raag Bhairavi = Phrygian
C Db Eb F G Ab Bb C
Raag Darbari Kanada = Aeolian (basically Minor scale) with oscillation on 3rd and 6th degree of the scale
Komal swar or flat notes means to sing or play the note slightly lower than its actual position. At times when we feel emotional or sentimental, pitch of our tone comes down.
Beautiful analysis
Raag bihag notes c e f g b c(5 notes ascending) c b a g f# g e f d c (7 notes descending using both f and f#)
Every raag also have a time to sing like in the early morning or evening or midnight.
So students use to stay with their teacher for years to learn these.
Hey... The CDEGAC you played is the raag "Mohanam" .. its one of the most pleasing ragas out there.
Beautiful analysis...you surely know how to communicate...you are really good at analytical skills 👌 keep going 👍
Raag Bhairavi is one of the toughest Raag in indian classical music it's used in variety of situations.
Something to make you more interested...the pentatonic scale you played on black keys also corresponds to Raga Bhoopali :)
ChaLan
Solfege= Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa
Komal = flat notes
Shuddha = natural notes
Tivra = sharp notes
Bhairav
Bhairavi
Sringar = Mackup
also
Sringar= In this, the fulfillment of the happiness that comes due to the mutual union of the hero and heroine is shown. It is of two types - one coincidence and the other disconnection. The meeting and separation of the hero heroine.
Tansen & Baiju Bawara were greatest singers were in Akabr's kingdom/ durbar around 1400 to 1500 A.D. During their performance they could move things like eg., flowers used to blossom, things used to fly in the air, even rain used to come during their performance. In Hindustan history these people were greatest. Whereas Meera Bhai when she used to sing Lord Krishna (God) used to appear before her & used to listen to her performance (Singing). This is true, She lived in Rajput Royal family. The story goes like that she never married, But she always praised singing about Lord Krishna( God Krishna).
Meera bai was married to a king
the drone in the background is a tanpura. the singer wants to stay in her scale so the do and so notes are droned and each note she is hitting is in reference to the drone. some raags don't give so much power and maybe fa (f version or f sharp version) are a better reference to the feel of that raag.
It's amazing Westerns have started taking interest in North Indian Classical Music. From the different ornaments, she is using Meend (Glide), and Andolan (Swing a note).
i like your reactions! would love to see more such videos!
Raag Bhairavi is last raag of music circle, it means endd od session mostly sung in early hours of morning n at the end of night, Raag bhup is first raag of morning welcoming sunrise or new dawn of any good thing
FYI ..to understand various notes like shudhha, teevra and komal...
suppose you are considering C as Sa... then, the shudha swars(notes) will be
C : Sa
D : Re (Full tone up )
E : Ga (full tone up)
F : Ma (half tone up)
G : Pa (full tone up)
A : Dha(Full tone up)
B : Ni (Full tone up)
and it cycles again as an octave..
Now if we go between Sa and Re, which is C and D, then the note in between, which is called half note in western, That is the Komal swar..
so looking at the keys in a Piano, You will find that there are half notes between C and D, that is C#, D and E that is D#, F and G that is F#(there isnt any half note between E and F), G and A, that is G#, A and B which is A#...
So following this, we get the Komal swars.. which are komal Re (C#), Komal Ga (D#), komal Dha (G#), komal Ni (A#)..
So the sargam now including komal swars will be like :
C : Sa (Sa is always shudha, Means it has no other variant like komal or teevra)
C# : Komal Re
D : Shudha Re
D# : Komal Ga
E : Shudha Ga
F : Shudha Ma
F# : Teevra Ma (Explained below)
G : Shudha Pa (like Sa, Pa is also always shudha)
G# : komal Dha
A : Shudha Dha
A# : komal Ni
B : Shudha Sa
Now you can see that F# is Teevra Ma, Which means half note up than Shudha Ma.. Note that Ma is the only swar that has Teevra variation..
so to conclude Sa and Pa has only Shudha as a variation,
Re, Ga , Dha and ni have two variations, Shudha (Pure) and Komal (Soft, as it is a seminote below the shudha variant),
and Ma has two variants, Shudha and Teevra (Teevra means fast or advanced, as it is half step advanced)
Also please note that in Indian Classical music, Sa is not defined by any Particular note, Any note can be the Sa, depending on the scale of the song, Like for a song in Say E major, E is the Sa of that song, so basically the root note of the key is Sa...But what defines Sa Re Ga ma is the intervals between them, Like Sa to Re is Full note , Sa to komal re is half note like this...
Hope it helps... (please mind if I used any wrong vocab for the western musical things, I am still learning )
You have made me her fan too❤❤
Hi man, your reactions are so genuine and you carefully express indian emotions as well meanwhile making your audience understand music on a global level.. Keep this good work up. Love from india
You need to first look into the 10 thaats ( the parent scale ) before you look into the ragas( which can be classified under them).
The 10 thaats are:
Bilawal, Kalyan, Khamaj, Bhairav, Poorvi, Marwa, Kafi, Asavari, Bhairavi and Todi.
Indian classical music is like an infinite cosmos. Just dive into it and enjoy the oneness with this cosmos.
"May mankind be of one mind, May it have a common goal. May all hearts be united in love. And with the mind and the goal being one may all of us live in happiness"
Vedas- 5000 BC
Sur==Octave in scale
Sa == Doh ==C
Re==Re == D
Ga==Mi == E
Ma==Fa == F
Pa==So == G
Dha==La == A
Ni==Ti == B
Saa==Doh == C
The word 'Chalan' [pronounced: Chu (like in Chu-rch) + lu (like in Lu-st) + un (like in un-known) = Chu-lu-un ] is connected to the word Chaal which means the way something/someone moves. So Chalan in the context of raag explains how the notes are moving or the movement of notes in a raag. Not sure if that made sense to you. I just tried explaining how I would do to a student of Hindi. ☺️ Btw, you have a great appetite for learning Indian music. Please continue to study this art form and share your thoughts like you do in your videos. All the best.
That's harmonium. It's a must for classical music training. (Not only training but many performances).
Ah, I love that you are trying so hard to pronounce the Raaga names correctly. I am the same way when I try to pronounce someone's else name, especially. Indian names are syllable based - so they sound exactly as they are written. So, we try to write Indian names the same way in English - if you read it as it is written, you will get very close to what it should sound like.
Secondly, you noticed that she wasn't trying to pretend. You notice that because it resonates with you and that is what you do as well - no pretense. You even expose your vulnerabilities before your audience (like looking up a word).
Here is the equivalent of the Lydian mode - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalyani_(raga). This also gives you a mapping, roughly, of the notes Sa, Re .. to C, D etc., Keep in mind though that the mapping is relative - one can start the first note "Sa" anywhere on the keyboard and the rest of the notes fall in place due to the relative distance from the base "sa".
Keep spreading joy through music!
The instrument used in background is called tanpura, it is used to calibrate the voice of artist to the root note or the base note.
Probably some basics will help you.
There are 2 major classical forms in India - North Indian Classical (this one) and Karnataki Classical.
All below are based on north Indian Classical.
Western = indian = indian full name
do/C = Sa = Sadaj
re/D = re = Rishabh
mi/E = ga = Gandhar
fa/F = ma = madham
so/G = pa =pancham
la/A = Dha = dhaivat
si or ti/B = Ni = nishad
Also called "Suddha swar"
Half Scales
flat = komal; sharp = teevra.
but ..
Only re, ga, dha, ni has komal, and ma has teevra
e.g.
c# / d- = komal re (e.g. not called teevra Sa)
d# / e- = komal ga
f#/ G- = teevra ma
g# / A- = komal dha
A# / b- = komal ni
aaroha = going up
avaroha = going down
e.g.
in raaga bhupali
aaroha = Do - re -mi - so - la - do / sa re ga pa dha sa.
avaroha = do - la - so - mi - re - do / sa dha pa ga re sa.
Chalan = flow of the raga.
similar concept = pakad : More or less default/ minimal set of notes which gives you feel of the raaga. (not the exact definition but to get some idea)
(pakad literally means catch / to catch. )
(If I remember correctly, in raaga bihag, suddha ma (F) is used in aaroha (going up) while teevra ma (f#) is used in avaroha (going down))
Tar sur = upper scale
Also Raaga's have 3 characteristics swar. Wadi = most important note of the raaga. Samwadi = 2nd most important note. Nyaas swar = generally the note where you tend to rest or end.
Thaat : This is an interesting one. Probably to categorize 100's of raagas , experts came up with 10 base raaga's or thaats. These raaga's generally have all 7 notes (or variations of them.)
e.g. thaat bilawal - sa - re - ga - ma - pa - dha - ni (C D E F G A B)
thaat bhairavi - sa - komal re - komal ga - ma - pa - komal dha - komal ni (C D- E- F G A- B- )
Each raaga is considered belonging to one thaat.
--------------------------------
Good to see your interest in so many different singing cultures. keep it up.
The above is my recollection of what I learned years ago.
Indeed she is a great teacher , so calm and so clear in her talk
You just do real thing ❤️ keep it up 👍👍
14:06 - 14:10 This pentatonic scale is called Raag Bhupali of the Kalyan Thaat which is best if practiced between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
Aarohanam (ascending) - S, R, G, P, D, S / Do, Re, Mi, So, La, Do.
Avarohanam (descending) - S, D, P, G, R, S / Do, La, So, Mi, Re, Do.
For your knowledge Raaga Bhairavi is called the queen of all raaga
When she says Chalan it's Ch as in Church, shudha means pure...
Plz interview her she is amazing teacher of indian classical music
The instrument you are referring to that is in her background is called a Shruti box (tune box) which will constantly give out a single note whichever is set. It comes in analog as well as electronic. Indian classical musicians use this instrument widely for practice. They set the box to an anchor note they want to use for the session and that helps them explore the notes in a similar way to how a compass helped explorers navigate....
12:29 no its not pentatonic...the Indian raag resembles to pentatonic is called Raag Bhoopali or just Bhoop.
The raag Bihag, which she singing doesn't really resembles to any Western modes or scale.
Raag Bihag structure ( let the scale is c major):
Ascending: C E F G B C' (five in ascending)
Descending: C' B (A) G.., F# G.. E F E..(D) C ...(in descending both F= Ma and F#= Tibra Ma is used)
Chalaan:
C G F# G... E F E...(D) C...
I hope it will help you understand...
In Indian Classical music there are 7 main notes - Shudhha notes
Apart from these seven notes, there are 5 other notes - Komal(Re,Ga,dha,Ni) and Teevra note (Ma)
The Komal notes are Flat notes
Teevra note is Sharp
Raags are sung on the basis of feelings, seasons, expressions, etc. She is really good in explaining the theory.... grt
I really amazed by your affords to understand the extreme complexity of Indian Classical Music.
In Indian classical singing we generally use harmonium or a taanpuraa ,or a tabla in this video she is using a taanpuraa as instrument for geting the notes
*CHALAN* : CH as in `change`, not as in `champagne`. After that AL(sounds like ULL (emphasis on L) as in `hull`. Finally, AN(sounds like UN) as in `under`. CH-UL-UN. Together, CHUL as in chug but L instead of G, followed by UN.
*BHAIRAVI* : BHAIR as in chair but with a B instead of C, followed by VI as in WE. BHAIR-WE
Love these videos on Indian music!
Mithaas: means sweetness
Nazakat: delicateness and nuance
There is nothing like a quarter-tone in Indian classical music
The thing I know about indian music is that
If song is like fire
It's should burn naturally
Not like jet engine fire
Or compressed gas fire
If it's water
It's should be as calm as the still ocean
Or if it's a river
It should flow as it is without blockage and if it has to change its direction , it should change its direction like a normal river and not sudden
The beauty of indian music from my opinion is that it shows nature in its every notes , it's story telling ability .
Music has no barriers.... no boundries..... Appreciate your efforts and desire to learn..... Try listening Raag Bhupali in early hours around 4 am.... It's worth it...
Sudha mean's major notes.
Komol mean's flat note.
Tibra mean's # note
The meaning of the word Chalan is the movement or development of the Rag while performing an alap .Alap means the improvisation of the notes of the Rag or scale.
In simple
Chalan is just how notes walk .
Modal Equivalent ( at least note wise):
1. Ionian = Bilawal
2. Dorian = Kaafi
3. Phrygian = Bhairavi
4. Lydian = Kalyan/Yaman
5. Mixolydian = Khamaj
6. Aeolian = Asavari
7. Locrian = well this one is controversial as we got an aug 4th but no fifth(or dim 5th and no 4th) , that makes it somewhere close to a raag from the Carnatic system that I do not know of..
more than the higher c note it's reflecting the c sharp without actually hitting it much. i guess c csharp e f sharp a b c, is the note progression you were looking for. refering to the c major table you put up.the d is pulled down half a note f is pulled up is what she explained by 're' being komal and 'ma' being tivra. i'm not sure i'm right but i hope this helps
Very good analysis sir..
I loved your explanation ❤️
High pitch Sa is the eight note basically the root note sung on the highest level or the higher octave. Like if the root note is C2 the high pitch Sa will be C3
Waiting for a collab video with Anuja ji.
