	Raga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Raga (rāg /राग (Hindi), raga (Anglicised from rāgaḥ/रागः (Sanskrit)) or rāgam /ராகம் (Tamil)) are the melodic modes used in Indian classical music.
		Ragas that have five swaras are called audava (औडव) ragas; those with six, shaadava (षाडव); and with seven, sampoorna (संपूर्ण) (Sanskrit for 'complete').
		Janya ragas are derived from the Janaka ragas using a combination of the swarams in the parent raga.

	The Raga Guide - Introduction
		In other words, ragas have a particular scale and specific melodic movements; their characteristic 'sound' should bring delight and be pleasing to the ear (or the "minds of men," as Matanga puts it elsewhere).
		As well as the fixed scale, there are features particular to each raga such as the order and hierarchy of its tones, their manner of intonation and ornamentation, their relative strength and duration, and specific approach.
		It is an open-ended concept in which the association of a particular raga with a specific emotional state, a season or time of day, though intangible, is as relevant as its melodic structure.

	raaga.net: Raga's Carnatic Music Page:An introduction to Carnatic Music
		Raga alapana is the presentation of pharases admissible in the raga in such a manner as to bring out its distictive characteristics.
		A Janya raga is said to be derived from a janaka raga.
		Note that a raga with only four notes in aarohana or avarohana is not considered since atleast five swaras are required to give an individuality to the raga.

	raga and eastern influences in guitar music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Where John Fahey founded the solo guitar string movement, and Leo Kottke made it popular, it was Basho's vision and technique that leaded to the "impressionistic guitar school" that evolved on its own to the New Age guitar movement.
		His goal was to develop something inside a modal raga structure with rhythmic developments, creating a new blend of new music.
		The first ever pop example of an Indian influence came actually from The Seventh Sons who recorded in 1964 their album “raga”, a true open tuning hippie excursion, which was released on the right moment, on ESP, in 1968.

	Raga Shree: Close Encounters
		Raga Shree of the Carnatic paddhati is an altogether different bloke although there exists a curious relationship: a simple flip-flop of the swaras of the Carnatic Shree from or to their vikrita forms yields an approximate contour of the Hindustani Shree.
		Knowing a Raga involves investigation of its 'biochemistry', the position of all the swaras employed, their interrelationships and the prayogas.
		To get the rAga's gestalt it is recommended that you allow some of its key tonal movements to ricochet in the walls of your mind for at least a week or so.

	Reflections on Raga Hameer
		Raga Hameer belongs to the class of the grand, basic rAgas and is known to project a vigorous, dramatic mien.
		Raga Hameer is nominally assigned to the Kalyan thAT and employs all the shuddha swaras plus the teevra madhyam.
		By "abstract" we mean that it is not a scalar rAga, amenable to constitution with elemental Aroha-avarohi phrases, that there is more to it than a chaining together and summing up a group of linear tonal clusters.

		The short article was still a memorable one: Kilgore's spokesman said that as RAGA chairman, the AG's phone calls soliciting donations for the Republican fundraising group are "part of the job description." Call this the "of course he's fundraising" response.
		The fundraising was coordinated by the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA); the documents provide details for the years from 1999 to 2001.
		RAGA was founded by [Alabama Attorney General William] Pryor and the Republican National Committee with the explicit aim of soliciting funds from the firearms, tobacco and paint industries and other industries facing state lawsuits over cancer deaths, lead poisoning, gunshots and consumer complaints, according to statements by Pryor and other officials.

	The Raga Guide
		The raga's ascending and descending sequences are given in staff notation (C is the nominal tonic throughout), with superscript sargam notation in the Roman alphabet.
		This parallels the variation between different versions of particular ragas, and is an example of the difficulty involved in assigning "definitive" status to particular aspects of Hindustani repertoire.
		The Raga Guide is a musicological reference work designed for that near-mythological creature, the "educated layperson." Professional Hindustani performers don't use reference books, relying instead on traditionally formed musical memory to resolve nomenclatural or taxonomical problems.

		The compositions are based upon traditional ragas, and are made unique by the interaction between the sitar and the guitar - a mixture that is not commonly experimented with in India.
		As the lead string is bowed to the notes of the raga, these sympathetic strings reverberate automatically producing a deep, lush, and dreamy sound.
		Most of the songs are in in the Raga Lakshan Geet form - which means that the words of each song also teach the pertinent details of its raga.

		To enjoy Ravi Shankar's music all one has to do is close your eyes and listen (not as a background music, we have other kinds of music for that purpose), the music takes us on a beautiful journey which takes us to a place we've never been before.
		The first thirteen minutes of "Raga Nala Bhairav" float through the air in a haze of unaccompanied echoing strings, building layer on layer as the older ones fade.
		It's passages like this that probably demonstrate Shankar's graceful touch the most, although nothing is lost once the percussion joins in for the rest of the album.
