@@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

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

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.

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.

How he says this raag feels like giving up on life and that's exactly what it was...

"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.

@dahlendo7513

Ras = essence

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.

Sa re ga ma pa dha ni = do re me fa so la ti respectively

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 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.

Loved it. Last Raag Bhairavi is very peaceful raag. It is also used in meditation

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.

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! ❣️

Indian music is all about Mastering and Playing with the notes😍

Quite interesting. Thank you for a different content video. 🎵❤️🎵

Loved your explanations! I am learning too with you

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..

Love these videos on Indian music!

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!

Just beautiful tutorial ❤️

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 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

I really amazed by your affords to understand the extreme complexity of Indian Classical Music.

i like your reactions! would love to see more such videos!

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.

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))

Miya tansen's guru was Swamy haridas 🔥🔥 Legend guru who can bring rain 🌧️ or fire 🔥 by singing raag

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.

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.

Beautiful analysis...you surely know how to communicate...you are really good at analytical skills 👌 keep going 👍

Excellent description

In simple Chalan is just how notes walk .

You can take out "ge" from challenge to pronounce "Challen".

Cool.. hope you enjoy your journey with Indian classical music and for sure it will add your music and life too.

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 are right about one thing. Bihaag is a slide-dominated raag. Sohni on the other hand plays in higher register.

Plz interview her she is amazing teacher of indian classical music

Want to see you and Anuja on same video session... Give and take of two different genres 😍😍😍... Must do it if possible ✨🎼

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.

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.

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

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).

You just do real thing ❤️ keep it up 👍👍

Raag Bhairavi is one of the toughest Raag in indian classical music it's used in variety of situations.

This is good thanks.

That's harmonium. It's a must for classical music training. (Not only training but many performances).

Chalan means move/movement in Indian languages. (I'm not a musician)

Indeed she is a great teacher , so calm and so clear in her talk

There is nothing like a quarter-tone in Indian classical music

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).

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.

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 .

Waiting for a collab video with Anuja ji.

You have made me her fan too❤❤

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

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

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...

Excellent 👍👍

Hey... The CDEGAC you played is the raag "Mohanam" .. its one of the most pleasing ragas out there.

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.

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#)

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.

Waiting ✋

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

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

Mithaas: means sweetness Nazakat: delicateness and nuance

Also learning with you.

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!

You should watch her Tedx Talk: "What gives music it's identity? ".

For your knowledge Raaga Bhairavi is called the queen of all raaga

"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

If you are into Indian classical fusion rock please react to Agam : Mist of Capricorn. It's just mind bogglingly amazing

Yes there are raags which are sung at perticular time of dayZ like raag bhairavi

Shuddha means pure, original sound of the 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.

That background instrument is Tanpura.. 🙂

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.

Something to make you more interested...the pentatonic scale you played on black keys also corresponds to Raga Bhoopali :)

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

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.
