Raga Suhi

Post by SenseMaker2010 »

I found some raga names linked with "Sikh Kirtan" and "Guru Granth Sahib". One is Raga Suhi. (Some more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragas_in_t ... anth_Sahib ). I dont find any deeper infos about (origin, ascending/descending scales etc...) the Raga Suhi...
-----------------
All what I got is this: Raga Suhi is a morning raga and a happy one. The Gurus have composed hymns concerning married life in this raga. These areGhorian, Lavan, Suchaji, Kuchajiand Gunwanti. There are several references to the life of the householder and particularly to the condition of the housewife. Her longing for her spouse becomes very keen and irresistible, as the night deepens: “I have neither beauty now bewitching eyes nor decent manners, now sweet speech. The bride bedecks herself with divine knowledge. If her spouse loves her, she becomes a happy wife”. (Source: Siknet.com)
-----------------

Some very few sources say, that Raga Suhi is a ragini (female raga form), derivated from the Raga Megh of Kafi Thaat ( http://www.itcsra.org/sra_raga/sra_raga ... ?thatid=10 ). But I have no secure sources to confirm this.

Any sources, mored etails, variations, and listening examples (links for downloads, CD releases etc. ...) would be very helpfully.

Tks in advance giving attention and for your support... SM2010
