Raga Bageshwari
Raga Bageshwari is a midnight Raga, belonging to That Kafi (parental scale). The third, and seventh notes, i.e. Ga and Ni are Komal (flat) while the rest of the notes are Shuddha (natural). Re and Pa are omitted in Aroha. There is some controversy over the note Pa and some people omit it completely. Its Jati or class is Odav Shadav or Odav Sampoorna. Its Vadi or the main note is Ma and the Samvadi or second important note is Sa. Its Aroha (ascent) and Avroha (descent) are as follows: Sa Ma Ga (flat) Ma Dha Ni (flat) Sa Sa Ni (flat) Dha Ma Ga (flat) Ma Ga (flat) Re Sa. Recommended listening: Sakhi Man Lage Na sung by Kumar Gandharva (HMV). Rendering by Ustad Bismillah Khan (instrumental). Rendering by Pt. V.M. Bhatt (instrumental). Film song: Na bole na bole na bole re sung by Lata in the film Azad. Chah barbaad karegi hamen from the film Shah Jahan.
Raga Yaman
Raga Yaman is derived from Kalyan That (Parental scale). It is an ancient Raga and was in existence even before the Islamic period. It comprises of all seven notes in Ascent and Descent. Its Vadi (main) note is Ga and Samvadi (second in importance) is Ni. Its unique feature is the use of Tivra (Sharp) Madhyam. Its Aroha (ascent) and Avroha (descent) are as follows: Sa Re Ga Ma (Sharp) Pa Dha Ni SA Sa Ni Dha Pa Ma (Sharp) Ga Re Sa. Excepting Ma, all the rest of the notes are Shuddha. However, the ascent begins with Ni, and Sa and Pa are avoided in the ascent, which is why it is termed sometimes as a Sampoorna (seven note) and other times as Shadav (six note) Raga. Its time of performance is the First Prahar of night. Recommended listening: Raga Yaman by Ustad Rashid Khan (Kaho Sakhi) Raga Yaman (flute) by Anand Murdeshwar To Dadu with Love (Ninaad). Film songs: Huzoor Is Kadar Bhi, sung by Bhupinder and Suresh Wadkar in Masoom Aye Husn Zara Jaag, sung by Rafi in Mere Mehboob. Is Mod Se Jaate Hain sung by Lata and Kishore Kumar in Aandhi.
I like the Raga Poorvi most. It is from the family of Poorvi That.
