Vādī and Samvādī
[edit]In Carnatic music
[edit]This raga originated in Hindustani classical music and has been taken into Carnatic music.[4] It is derived from the 28th Melakarta (parent scale) Harikambhoji.[4] It is an audava-audava raga (pentatonic asymmetrical scale) with the following structure.[5]
Scale similarities
[edit]- Gambhiranata raga is a symmetrical Carnatic raga with N3 (Kakali Niṣāda) in both ascending and descending scales,[2] while Tilang uses Kaisiki Niṣāda (N2) in descending scale.
- Savitri raga is a symmetrical Carnatic raga with N2 (Kaisiki Niṣāda) in both ascending and descending scales,[2] while Tilang uses Kakali Niṣāda (N3) in ascending scale.
Tilang therefore has the Arohana (ascending scale) of Gambhiranata, and Avrohana (descending scale) of Savitri.[2]
