Hi, can any body give me mapping of english swars like E D G F upon Sa Re Ga Ma... if Any body then please... Thanks Devesh
ok - was jst wondering abt this mapping - coz on the fretboard one can play sa re ga ma ... starting from any fret on the same string rite? Like start anywhere as sa and 1 whole step down the fret is re ..again 1WS down is ga and half is ma and then 1W is pa 1WS is dha 1 WS is ni and 1H is sa. But the point from where I begin is just arbitrairy rite? so in the EBGDAE format the starting point is not likely to be C always. abhijit/anyone can u please elaborate and enlighten me more on that *if u start with c as tonic* bole to .. *else* what ??
That is the whole funda The Western concept of scales is based on absolute pitches ie 440 Hz is A and so on for other notes. So when you start playing Sa Re Ga Ma etc starting from A, it becomes A B C# D E F# G# A, whereas from C it would be CDEFGABC. This is the basis of the key signature concept. In the Indian context, there is no such absolute pitch. The vocalist starts from an arbitrary starting point (aka the tonic) and sings whichever raga or mode starting from there. It is inherently a modal system, where the order and choice of notes determine the feel of the song. So when a Western and Indian musician play together, they have to decide which note the Indian guy is going to use as the starting note and play from there.
I think Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do is a more direct co-relation. Co-relate Do Re Mi Fa to the major scale.
Yes.. A minor is ABCDEFGA The third, sixth and seventh are flattened a half step from the major scale.
I have one question: why do you want everything in Sa Re Ga Ma etc? why not learn the new style of C D E F G A B etc?
that's ok...but is there any similar thing in hindi sa re ga ma...consider C minor scale C D Eb F G Ab Bb C. m not tryin to learn everything in sa re ga ma...but just wodering if there is something similar in indian classical too...
