Chayaranjani

Post by arasi »

I like this rAgam which is akin to Subha pantuvarAli, resembling bhATiyAr in HM. I heard an RTP in this rAgam by Sanjay in the 2008 season. I read that Sudha and TMK have sung it recently in their GNB's centenary concerts. I haven't heard that particular composition of GNB, 'nI valayince'. Is there a non-commercial recording which someone can upload? If not, give the name of the commercial CD which contains the song? Thanks.

Arasi - chAyaranjani is a janya of Shubhapantuvarali mela. I think ri and dha are varjyam in aarohanam.

The contemporary composer Shri Ashok Madhav has a kriti in this ragam, raksha mAm chAyaranjani.

MLV has sung the GNB composition in one of her Sangeetha albums very elaborately and equisitely.

Mohan,
Thanks for Sangeeta Swaminathan's link, but it does not work for me :(

C.Rama,
Will get the MLV CD when I go to Chennai, thanks.

r-t,
Did not know that Ashok MAdhav had a song in the rAgam. He is a member of Rasikas too. Would be nice if he puts up his kruti here. Thanks for that info.

Direct links to the files are disallowed in Sangeethapriya /Sangeethamshare for quite some time. Go to the folder that contains the song, using the following link

http://sangeethamshare.org/svasu/UPLOAD ... aminathan/

Login with either a google or yahoo email-id. You can then proceed to the directory. Now select the third song on that page.

Sanjay Subrahmanyam has blogged about this rAgA. http://sanjaysub.blogspot.com/2012/06/chayaranjani.html

The Arohanam-Avarohanam of this raga
Aro : S G2 M2 P N3 S
Avaro : S N3 D1 P M2 G2 S - it's quite like multAni in HM, but the R1 is missing.

And speaking of GNB's composition in chAyAranjani - here you go : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29YirWzsHRE - with a detailed AlApanA
