Folks,

Can somebody help me with this information. I have listed below the
eight least common denominator combinations of aarohana/avarohana that
can be created with the swaras Sa Ri Ga Pa Dha Sa, followed by raga names
(carnatic then hindustani). I am missing three of the names for the eight
combinations. 1) Do these aarohana/avarohanas exist? 2) If so, what
is the name of the associated raga?

The source of the info. I have included is Dr. Subba Rao's book - Raganidhi.
Since I am not familiar with the proper note notation used on RMIC, I have
denoted notes sung flat, i.e. komal with an (F) and notes sung natural, i.e.
shuddh with an (N). Hope it aint too confusing.

Sa Ri(N) Ga(N) Pa Dha(N) Sa -- Mohanam/Bhoopali

Sa Ri(F) Ga(N) Pa Dha(N) Sa -- Dont know

Sa Ri(N) Ga(F) Pa Dha(N) Sa -- Hindustani Shivaranjani (Carnatic Shivaranjani
is completely different from this raga and is not very popular- so says my
bible "Raganidhi". Recordings I have heard of carnatic musicians rendering
Shivaranjani seem to essentially use the Hindustani scale.)

Sa Ri(N) Ga(N) Pa Dha(F) Sa -- Dont know

Sa Ri(F) Ga(F) Pa Dha(N) Sa -- Dont Know

Sa Ri(F) Ga(N) Pa Dha(F) Sa -- Revagupti, no exact equivalent in Hindustani.

Sa Ri(N) Ga(F) Pa Dha(F) Sa - Japani, introduced by Sri. V. Ramanathan;
apparently this scale is found in Japanese Koto music - hence the name??
Here too,source = Dr. Subba Rao's "Raganidhi".
I dont think I have heard anything in this raga yet.

Sa Ri(F) Ga(F) Pa Dha(F) Sa - Bhoopalam/Bhoopal Todi

If anybody out there can help, your time is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Anu Srinivasan

The Hindustani equivalent for both the above ragas is vibhaas: some singers sing vibhaas with a shuddha dhaivat, whereas others sing it with a komal dhaivat. Perhaps someone could throw some light on which gharanas sing it which way.


Kedar.
