Striking the right chord

How to find which musical chord will fit where in the Song? Or, is there any musical chord fitting rule for selecting the right chord for any part of the melody or song?




Answer is yes. You might have seen a number of people asking the chord progressions for their favourite songs on various music related forums. And for a musician, after some experimentations it is not difficult to find out which chord fits where into the song. But again, why only that chord is fitting to that part of the song and not the other one?? Is there any rule for chord fitting??
 
Here it takes some research.. Don’t worry, I am going to keep it simple.
 
– Usually the right chord is the one which includes the note played on the main beat in that part of the melody..
 
So, for people who follow Hindustani notations.. The right chord is the one which usually is represented by the note played on ‘sum‘ (as in ‘Khali’ and ‘Sum‘). 
 
So for example if you are playing  the DDLJ song Tuje dekha to yeh jana sanam..
 
For simplicity here we will consider just a part of the song.
 
The Song contains Sa; Re; Ga. (Komal); Ma; Pa;  Dha. (Komal); Ni. (Komal)
 
And following chords, 
 
1)     Cmin :Sa Ga.Pa      2) B flat Major : Ni.Re Ma   3) B flat Minor : Ni.RePa

 

 

Tujhe     dekha    to ye    jaana      sa   nam
Sa Sa    |Sa| Pa   Ma Pa   Ga.Ma    Dha.|Pa|
              1                        0                    2
             |Sa|Ga.Pa                       SaGa.|Pa| 
---------------------------------------------------
Pyaar      hota    hai   deewana         sanam

             |Sa|Ga.Pa                    PaNi.|Re|

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

Posted inAlaap Bhoop Bhupali Fusion Hindustani Indian Indian Classical Music Jazz music music theory Pentatonic Raga

Pentatonic ‘special’ five Ragas

Pentatonic ‘special’ five Ragas – Durga, Dhani (Bhimpalasi), Bhoopali, Madhmad Saarang and Maalkauns

In classical music there are few major Ragas which are Pentatonic (Odav-Odav Jati) meaning that both the ascent and descent recitals take five notes each. Few popular examples are Bhoop, Durga, Dhani, Shivranjani, Malkauns, Saarang, Bairagi etc..

Among these pentatonic ragas, there are a special 5 of them; namely Durga, Dhani, Bhoopali, Madhmad sarang, and Malkauns, which share the same musical key-pattern or key combinations. If you look at any keyboard, this pattern can be easily identified by the set of the Black keys in series on the keyboard.  This article is dedicated to this special pentatonic pattern.

There are a few reasons why we can call them special 5, let us discuss these reasons in detail which will also reveal the characteristics of these raga.

Reasons for calling these pentatonic ragas a set of special-5..

R. 1). There is a lot of harmony in this pattern of special 5..

All my friends who know some basic sound recording would know a feature called echo effect, which gives any single sound of note played a boost by repeating it while getting diminished along time. These special 5 ragas sound especially melodious when an echo effect is applied to them. Ie. it works especially well with our special 5.

R. 2)  All of these special 5 share this unique pattern with just a difference of the Base key or Tonic Major key location. What I mean is that once you start playing just those black keys from any keyboard by fixing your base key or tonic key on any one of the five keys, one of these raga start taking its shape.

For example if one fixes th e base key on the first of the nearby twin keys, Raga Durga starts taking a shape:

Once we shift the location of tonic key to the next key of the duo, it becomes Dhani

Shift it ahead to the third one, the first from the trio, it sounds like Bhoop (Bhupali)

One step more, Madhmad Sarang,

And yet one more step to right for the Tonic key, it becomes Malkauns..

R. 3) Now having said that, all the special 5 have nothing in common when it comes to how they sound ie. all of these special 5 sound completely different from one another.

And due to that despite sharing the note pattern 4 of them belong to totally different note family or Thaat, ie.

Raag  |  Thaat

Durga – Bilawal

Dhani – Kaafi .

Bhupali – Kalyan

Madhmad Saarang – Kaafi

Malkauns – Bhairavi

R. 4) Despite being multifaceted in nature all these raga sound elegant and deep, especially during the vilambit alaap recitals.

R. 45) The number of reasons also has to be 5 for the special 5, the last but not the least ie. not for the number’s sake reason –There is huge number of popular bollywood and folk songs which are based upon these special 5 ragas and, especially the 3 in the middle have inherent capacity to make the song a Viral hit. –

Examples:

-> Dhani Pani da rang vekh ke, Radha kaise na jale, Tujhe Dekha to yeh Jaana Sanam, Ye zindagi usi ki hai

-> Bhupali – Dekha ek khwab to yeh silsile hue, Kanchi re kanchi re, He… nile gagan ke tale, o mere sona re, etc.

-> Madhmad Saarang Aa laut ke aaja mere meet, Kaushalya mai teri from Eeshwar movie, Chori chori maine bhi to yaari nibhayee re

All are ‘ex’-viral hits

Jazba – A ghazal dedicated to all our Jawan!

जज़्बा

( एक नई ग़ज़ल, उन ख़ास बहादूर जवानों के नाम के नाम, जिनके सरहद पर डटें होने से, आज हम सब चैन से इन त्योहारों की खुशियां मना सकते हैं|..)

गिरते सँभलते ही सिखाथा चलना
  ना बदलेंगे गिरके सँभालने का जज़्बा!
बनते बिगड़ते बनी है ये दुनिया
 की बनने से पहेले बिगाड़ेगा क्या वोह?

गिरायेगा क्या वोह? पछाड़ेगा क्या वोह?
 की गिरके पटक के बने सख्त पथ्थर!
तराशा जो पथ्थर तो बनती है मूरत,
 न तोड़ें उसे तो तराशेगा क्या वोह?

मारेगा क्या वो मिटाएगा क्या वोह?
  के मरने से मिटती नहीं है शहीदी
शहीदों के ख़ूनों से बनते हैं भारत
 न खौला अगर तो बहायेगा क्या वोह?

हंसते हँसाते रहें ना रहें हम
 मगर ना तू करना जुदाई का एक ग़म|
मिलते बिछड़ते कटी ज़िन्दगी है
 कभी ना भूला – याद करने का जज़्बा|
