An improvisation piece based on an original composition " Nee" in Raag Yaman(Hindusani)/ Kalyani(Carnatic).
Nee, the original composition I had lent vocals to, on which this reprise is based, has been melodiously composed and mixed by Rishi S, written by Aisoorya for the label Sonore Unison.
Nee(Reprise) is an improvisation on the original ,delving into the Raaga that has always been close to my heart. Yaman- An all time peace bestowing Raag.
Yaman is the raag with which almost every music student enters this fascinating world of raags. The aura and the magic that this raag holds will always remain a mystery even to the greatest of musician, or scholar.
Though its usually the first raag that is taught to aspiring students of music, its a raag that you never really stop learning. There are innumerable aspects, sides, to raag Yaman - a thousand musical phrases can be woven around its basic melodic structure. It is a raag that gives the musician infinite opportunities to improvise and explore.
For me Yaman invokes spirituality, peace, love, harmony and a beauty that enthralls me every time I sing it.
Raag Yaman
| Thaat | Kalyan |
| Aaroha | Ni Re Ga Ma Dha Ni Sa |
| Avroha | Sa Ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Re Sa |
Pakad | Ni Re Ga, Ga Ma Pa, Ma Ga Re Sa (Ma is teevra, all other swaras are Shudha) |
Vaadi | Ga |
| Samvaadi | Ni |
| Prahar (Time) Jaati | Evening (Raat ka Pratham Prahar) Shaadava Sampoorna (omits Pa in the Aroha, Avaroha has all 7 swaras) |
