Scintillating Sindhubhairavi

Light and melodious
http://charulathamani.blogspot.in/201...

Sindhubhairavi is one of the most interesting and colourful of ragas. A melange of swaras finds it way into this accommodative raga. Sindhubhairavi is a derivative of the Asavari thaat , and the conventional Aarohana / Avarohana being SRGMDNS / SNDPMGRS. The raga features the Sadja, Suddha and Chatusruti Rishabha, Suddha Madhyama (and Prati Madhyama in special phrases), Pancama, Suddha Dhaivata (and Chatusruti Dhaivata in special phrases), Kaisiki Nishada (and Kakali Nishada too), in fact, almost everything! This raga is suited for lighter pieces, exudes bhakti and sringara rasas , and could melt mountains.

MK Tyagaraja Bhagavatar’s renditions in Sindhubhairavi are some of the most refreshing, including ‘Bhoomiyil Maanida’ from Ashok Kumar , and ‘Vadhaname Chandra Bimbamo’ from Sivakavi . In ‘Vadhaname’, the complete octave is explored with splendid vocalisation in ‘...Madura Gaanamo…’, in lightning speed.

Bharatiar’s ‘Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai’ in ragamalika featured Sindhubhairavi as the first raga in D.K. Pattammal’s voice (in the film Vedhaala Ulagam ). ‘Sitham Ellam Enakku’ from Thiruvarutchelvar is a riveting piece, a composition of K.V. Mahadevan, who also composed ‘Manappara Madu Katti’ from Makkalai Petra Magaraasi in this raga.

The duo MS Viswanathan-Ramamoorthy has composed several pieces in this raga, including ‘Ennai Yarendru’ from Paalum Pazhamum , ‘Varayo Thozhi’ from Paasa Malar , and ‘Aaru Maname’ from Andavan Kattalai . The use of the shehnai in ‘Varayo Thozhi’ is noteworthy.
