Program Notes

Raga Alapana in Megh

Raga Alapana is an improvisation and a systematic presentation of a Raga. This part has no rhythmic accompaniment. It has three parts - Alap, Jod and Jhala. This format is also known as Ragam and Tanam.

Here are some notes about the Raga.

Raga - Megh

Scale - Sa Re ga ma Pa ni

Family - Kanada

Melakarta - Natabhairavi (Sa Re ga ma Pa dha ni)

Prahar - All prahars during monsoon or 3rd and 4th prahar (equivalent to 12 PM - 6 PM)

Reading the scale

In Indian Classical Music, the seven notes in an octave are called Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni and then Sa comes again. Notes with a capitalised first letter are called Tivra (or sharp) notes. E.g., Re above. Notes written fully in lower case are called Komal (or flat) notes. E.g., ma and ni above. Sa and Pa are always written with a capitalized first letter.

Prahar

In Indian Classical Music, Ragas are classified into Prahars (time periods of a day or night) which are said to represent the most appropriate time to perform the Raga.

Use of Komal Gandhar

The popular scale of Raga Megh is Sa Re Ma Pa ni. This presentation of Raga Megh make use of ati-komal (extra flattened) Gandhar as a grace note.
