SAHANA RAGAM MOVIE

I must have watched this movie during high school time and since then this song has been one of my favs. In that movie this song is sung by Balamurali for Anant Nag (and somebody else whose name I do not remember now for his guru). I first heard it when we were watching G V Iyer's 'Hamsageethe' which was an adaptation of a novel by TaRaSu. Today let us listen to one such gem in Kalyani ragam called 'himAdri sUthe, pAhi mAm'.I have been a fan of this song for a long time now. He has composed the least among the trinity (about 65) but each of his song is an exquisite gem. Shyama Shastry is part of the Musical Trinity of Carnatic Music (along with Thyagaraja and Muthuswami Dikshitar) and his music is really mind blowing. A lot of music has been composed on Devi. Please do keep sharing your knowledge and treasures with others. My interest in music has peaked over the past couple of years.I am really fortunate to have friends with excellent tastes and deep knowledge in music. Hello to all and wishing you a very happy Navarathri/Dasara festival. Let us listen to Shri M Balamuralikrishna sing this song. But whatВ differentiatesВ Indian music from other musical schools is the use of gamakas and other melodic ornamentations. It is amazing that many popular music systems throughout the world share similar scales/modes. Apparently, it is also known in middle eastern and Arabic music as the Kurd mode. This ragam is equivalent to theВ phyrgian mode seen in western classical music and olden greek music. All the notes in this ragam are important (IВ believeВ all notes are jeeva swaras) but some special importance can be given to gandharam (Ga) and daivatha (Dha) swaras. It can be seen that the upper and lower halves of the ragam (either arohana and avarohana) are symmetrical.

This ragam is the 8th melakarta in the sampurna mela series and is called Jana Todi in the asampurna mela system followed by Muthuswami Dikshitar. This song is set in the grand, intense and yet solemn ragam todi or also known as hanumatodi.

Let us listen to Shri K V Narayanaswamy sing this song. This is also the Lydian mode of the ancient Greek music and western classical music. Kalyani is also the famous Yaman/Kalyan mode/raag of the Hindustani muic tradition which has a lot of Persian influence. This song is set in the ever pleasing Kalyani ragam which is the 65th melakarta ragam in the sampurna mela scheme. The first on the list is 'Birana Varalichchi' in Kalyani ragam and rupaka talam.Д¬1: tAmasamu sEyaka nIvu karuNAnidhi gAdA parAmukhamikanEla vinu sarOjamukhiД¬2: kAmitArtthaphala dAyaki dEvi kalpalatikA purANi madhuravANi shivuniki rANiД¬3: shyAmakRSNa sOdari gauri paramEshvari girijA anAtha rakSNambu salupaga rAvE On the auspicious navami day of Navarathri festival, let us listen to a couple of fantastic krithis by the great composer and Devi upasaka Shyama Shastry.
