SINGLE-KRITHI-RAGAMS-PARENTS

Thyagaraja Swami 's kritis are about 700 according to sangeethapriya site.

http://www.sangeethapriya.org/tributes/thyagaraja/dl_krithis.html

------------------------------------------------------

The list of kritis can be sorted on the basis of ragams.

-----------------------------------------------------

Then I found that there are about 140 ragams having only one or two kritis.

Some of these 'single-kriti' ragams-kritis are very famous and nice.

------------------------------------------------------

I had also read that Thyagaraja Swami preferrred the first 32 meLakarta scales. even for these rare ragams.

To verify, I tried to list the single kriti ragams , alphabetically and note their parent scale.

----------------------------------------------

This is the work in last two days.

If the column in right side is yellow, then, it is a suddhamadhyamam scale

If it is cyan, then, it is pathimadhyamam scale

-----------------------------------------------

I observed that Thyagaraja Swami has carefully chosen, only such MK scales even in SuddhaMadhyama set, where there are no vivadi swaras.

----------------------------------------------

The non-vivadi scales are numbered

8 to 11, 14 to 17, 20 to 23, 26 to 29 ,only.

(16 scales).

My contention is that we can totally avoid notation like R3,G3 , D3 and N3.

if we follow the Trinity's choice of ragams.

----------------------

We can then follow

S R1 R2 G1 G2 M1 M2 P D1 D2 N1 N2 S

as in Hindusthani music.

----------------------------------------------------

Even for swara-singing , there is no problem , as a raga based on a non-vivadi sampoorna meLa ragam , will not touch any vivadi swaram.

( am I right?)

===================================

I have used a pdf book named RARE RAGAS HANDLED BY THYAGARAJA,

and re-arranged the material.
