Ny Murali on his expedition to know origin of master creators melody HAI EVERYBODY RAAGA OF MSVS UNNAI NAAN SANTHITHEN IN AYIRATHIL ORUVAN https://youtube/watch?v=K0kaOdXV21g I WATCHED WITH INTEREST OF VARIOUS OPINION ABOUT THE RAAGA OF THIS SONG. ONE GENTLE MEN HAS WRITTEN THAT THIS IS IN RAAGA BHANDUVAARAI. ANOTHER OPINION IS THAT IT SHOULD BE RAAGA SUBHA BANDHUVARALI. I WANTED TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS SONG. THE MOMENT I PLAY THIS SONG IN MY KEYBOARD I ALWAYS FALL IN TEARS BECUASE IT CONVEYS SO MANY EMOTION OF AN YOUNG WOMANS THOUGHTS ABOUT THE RECIPROCAL LOVE SHE EXPECTS FROM A MAN. MY HUMBLE OPINION ABOUT THIS SONG IS THAT IT IS NEVER IN A RAAGA. FIRST LET US SEE WHAT IS THE SWARAM OF RAAGA BANDUVARAALI THE AAROGANAM IS SA RI1, GA1, MA1, PA, DAI, NI2, SA THE AVAROHANAM IS SA, NI2, DA1, PA, MA1, DA1, MA, GA1, RI, SA. THE SWARAM OF RAAGA SUBHA BANDUVARAALI THE AAROGANAM IS SA RI1, GA1, MA1, PA, DAI, NI2, SA THE AVAROHANAM IS SA, NI2, DA1, PA, MA1, GA1, RI1, SA. I HAVE PLAYED THIS SONGS NUMBER OT TIMES IN MY KEYBOARD. THE SWARAMS THAT COME WHILE PLAYING THIS SONG ARE SA, RI1, GA1, GA2, MA1, MA2, PA, DA1, NI1 NI2. THE FACT IS THERE ARE ONLY 12 SWARAM IN A SHRUTHI (carnatic term) OR SCALE (western term) . HERE IN THIS SONG YOU NOTICE 10 SWARAMS ARE USED TO CREATE THIS MELODY PIECE OUT OF 12 SWARAMS. THERE IS NO RAAGA EITHER IN HINDUSTANI OR CARNATHIC MUSIC LIKE THIS. YOU ALL KNOW THAT IN CARNATIC MUSIC THERE CAN BE ONLY MAXIMUM 7 SWARAMS WHICH ARE CALLED SAMPOORNA RAAGA WHICH MEANS COMPLTE. THERE IS NO EIGTH SWARAM IN CARNATIC. THERE CAN BE ONLY 1 OUT 2 RI, GA . MA, DA, AND NI. WHERE AS IN THIS SONG THERE ARE 2 GAS, 2 MAS, 2 NIS. TOTALL VIOLATION FROM THE RAAGA RULE. IN HINDUSTANI STYLE AT LEAST THEY ALLOW TWO OF THE SAME SWARA FAMILY TO CO EXIST IN A RAAGA. IF YOU TAKE A RAAGA KAAPI YOU WILL HAVE 2 GAS THAT IS GA1 AND GA2. WHERE AS IF YOU TAKE THIS SONS, IT HAS 3 SWARA FAMILY OF SWARAS WHICH CO EXIST IN THIS MELODY. THAT IS GA1 & GA2, MA1 & M2, NI1 & NI2. IT DOES NOT QUALIFY THE RAAGA RULE EVEN IN HINDUSTANI MUSIC. AND OTHER THAN CARNATIC AND HINDUSTANI NO OTHER WORLD MUSIC HAS GOT THE RAAGA CONCEPT. SO WE CANNOT CALL THIS SONG BY ANY RAAGA. BUT HOW THEN THE MASTER CREATED THIS COPOSITION. HE USED A WESTERN METHOD CALLED CHORDS. WHAT HE HAS DONE IS THAT HE HAS TAKEN A SET OF 4 CHORDS AND USED THE NOTES (SWARAS) OF THOSE CHORDS AND USED EXTRA SHAPR NOTES TO LINK EACH CHORDS. MSV HAS A UNIQUE STYLE OF COMPOSING HIS MELODIES. THIS IS ONE AMONG 1000 OF SONGS HE HAS COMPOSED IN THIS METHOD. THAT IS WHY WE ARE NOT ABLE TO IDENTYFIY THE RAAGA NAME. OF COURSE THERE ARE SONGS HE HAS COMPOSED IN A PARTICULAR RAAGA. THAT IS A DIFFERENT MATTER.
