There is an inextricable link between music and our moods. Reprint of Article by Pt.Shivkumar Sharma from the Sunday Observer magazine section August 16-22, 1992 The following are the ragas that are mentioned in the SGGS:
There is no absolute pitch instead, each performance simply picks a ground note, and the other scale degrees follow relative to the ground note.Įvery time of the day, morning, afternoon, evening and night, has its specific ragas.Īlso See Kirtan, Sikh Kirtan, Taal, Ragmala List of 31 Ragas Furthermore, such variations can occur between styles, performers or simply follow the mood of the performer. However, ragas can specify microtonal changes to this scale: a flatter second, a sharper seventh, and so forth. In the seven tone-scale the second, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh notes can be sharp or flat, making up the twelve notes in the Western scale. The underlying scale is a five, six or seven tone-scale. The result is a framework that can be used to compose or improvise melodies in, so that melodies in a certain raga will always be recognisable yet allowing endless variation. It specifies a scale, as well as rules for movements up and down the scale, which notes should figure more and which notes should be used more sparingly, which notes take which ornamentation, which notes must be bent, which notes may be bent, phrases to be used, phrases to be avoided, and so on.
