Program Notes
Raga Alapana in Hamsadhwani
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 - Hamsadhwani
Scale - Sa Re Ga Pa Ni
Family - Kalyani (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni)
Melakartha - Sankarabharanam (Sa Re Ga ma Pa Dha Ni)
Prahar - 5th Prahar (6 pm - 9 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., Ni above. Notes written fully in lower case are called Komal (or flat) notes. There are no Komal or Flat notes in this Raga. 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.
