Raagavalli-3 : Raagamaalikaa-s
are very attractive in Indian music and this has a greater appeal and
variety in the lore of Karnaatic idiom. There are hundreds of
raagamaalikaa-s in various languages. Hence a creative artiste has a
greater challenge in composing really novel and refreshingly original
measures. But creativity is such an amazingly meta-logical function that
it never gets tired even after reaching soaring heights in variety and
novelty. Firmly believing this home truth as expounded by the great
aesthetician Anandavardhana, a bunch of raagamaalikaa-s are composed in
Kannada and Sanskrit. Here, the high quality of maatu and dhaatu are
strikingly felt by the rasika-s of saahitya and samgeetha at once and
their undivided effect is also blissfully realized. Almost all
compositions carry the raagamudra-s and this is done in an effortlessly
original manner. Most of the compositions, in spite of having their
themes from the mythology and religion, express themselves in beautiful
poetic diction and thus pave a new avenue altogether. Some of the
compositions are like a cluster of raaga-s that belong to one family
either by name or by scale. Thus we have measures like gaanagaNapati,
grahabhEda-gatibhEda-raagamaalikaa, pancakalyaaNi, bandhurabhairavi,
sumamdhyamaa, mahaabhaarata-raagamaalikaa, gamgaayugala, sakalasaakshi
and the like. Here the rich music that creates an aroma of strikingly
different and deceivingly similar raaga-s rendered at ease will be a
worth - listening treat to the true lovers of music.
