another very catchy pallavi i heard recently :
` nAttaikurinji enbAr engaL sirandha nAttai kurinji enbAr'
in (obviously) nAttaikurinji ! (C) KVN !
i thot he would render them in nAttai and kurinji as well, but he
stopped with nAttaikurinji only ! :-(

Mohanam, Hamsadhwani, Hindolam, Revathi, Kapi. If so, a posting of them
with the swara notation, would be much appreciated.
I would like to learn some Pallavi's in these ragas.
Charumathi Ramachandran has composed a nice pallavi in Hamsadhwani
set to Khanda Jathi Ata Tala Tisra Nadai. The pallavi is:
"Vinayaka, Vallabha nayaka, GajAnanayutham, Gananayakam, Sidhi ..."
The words are from the popular krithis in praise of Lord Ganesha in
Hamsadhwani, Begada, Chakravakom, Purnashadjam and Shanmukhapriya
(respectively) and these are used for ragas are used for kalpana swaras.

I have heard a recording of ML Vasanthakumari singing an RTP in
Mohanam, the pallavi of which began
"Sundari Shankari Gauri - Kadai ....".
It was in a double album called "Cascades of Carnatic Music".
Someone else asked after recordings of Melakarta raga compositions by
Koteeswara Iyer. I have a Nonesuch record called "Pallavi", I think,
which has a flute player who plays a K. Iyer composition in
taanaroopi, which has Sa Ri(1) Ga(1) Ma(1) Pa Dha(3) Ni (3) in its
scale. Unfortunately, I don't remember the musician's name right now.
If the original questionner is interested, I will remember to go home
and look at the record.

the pallavi goes
"kadaik kaN vaithhennai ALammA sundarI shankarI gowrI"
the first part of the album has Palghat Mani Iyer accompanying MLV !
I distinctly remember reading on the sleeve notes of the LP (!!)
that, that was the first time ever that Mani Iyer accompanied MLV !!
(god ! so many `that's ) !

I have also heard a pallavi in Mohana, sung by T.V. Shanakaranarayanan.
I believe the words are as follows: "Sarasa Dhalanethra Sowmya keshavaa."
It was truly thrilling. Sorry...but I don't have the notation.

Since this article was posted under the heading "RTPs in light ragas", I
am curious to know if others consider ragams such as Mohanam and
Hindolam as "light". Is "light" a 5-note ragam? Or what is the basis
for such a classification?
Also, on another topic that's currently being discussed, I don't think
it's a good idea to create a moderated rmic group. The amount of
traffic only goes down with such a move, if experience with any of the
other moderated groups is any indication.

It is this same line of thinking that led me to remark in a previous
post of mine that:
* The distiction between heavy and light ragas is more
pronounced in Carnatic music than in Hindustani music.
I too would consider Hindolam less serious (if not `light') than
(say) Todi. But I do not think Malkouns (much) less serious
than Bilaskhani Todi.

I do not consider Mohanam nor Hindolam to be light ragas. My original
query was merely posted as a followup to another topic and I was
careless not to change the subject line.
I guess light ragas are those that do not offer much scope for
elaboration during alapana.
