A Raga's Journey — Aspects of Abheri

Image
My fortnightly column on Ragas in Classical and Film music started today with Abheri raga. Click to read: The Hindu : Life & Style / Metroplus : A Raga's Journey — Aspects of Abheri Download the PDF Postscript: In addition to many appreciative messages, this column has evoked some responses that have bemused me. Some Scholars of music have written demanding Exhaustive and Correct treatment in accordance with Ancient Treatises (never mind the fact that the definition of Correct varies amongst each one). If they have their way, this column too would sink into the morass of Mumbo-jumbo, Arcane Terminology, Pedantry, and Polemics. If you read the column, please do send your feedback to: letters@thehindu.co.in A Brief Guide to Raga Abheri (PDF): Isai Payanam with Charulatha Mani - Raga Abheri: Panchasatpitarupini - Karnataka Devagandhari - Muthuswami Dikshitar Isai Payanam - Raga Abheri - Chennaiyil Tiruvaiyaru 2012 Isai Payanam - Raga Abheri - Music Season
