Kadhal Rojave :

Raga Analysis, Notations and Review

Kadhal rojavae, A song of sweet pain and flourishing memories is one of those songs we couldn't stop halfway even in situations we have to. One such song that makes us emotional, make ours a teary eye for no reason. The magic of music! As soon as the song begins, our eyes closes and we are transported to another world. The feel it gives us will not make us to stop the song, even when there is a sudden call of work!

What an idea to give flute backing to Sujatha's voice, giving such a surreal and mesmerising effect. How do you think of these things ARR ! How magical it is! It's her humming that puts soul to this song because without the humming part the whole song seems to be incomplete! It makes our mind, travel back magically in time and feels anew like the first time heard with the lovely flute pieces by Naveen Kumar. The whole song is a bliss and her humming part is like cherry on the cake! And Balu sir, always sensational and mesmerising!

Raaga of this song :

Kadhal Rojave is based on which Raaga? The answer is here.

The vocal portions of the song are set in Kaapi raagam. Kapi is a janya ragam of Kharaharapriya with a meandering vakra scale. Typically performed at slow and medium speeds, it is capable of inducing moods of devotion, pathos and sadness in the listeners.

Arohanam: S R2 M1 P N3 S

Avarohanam: S N2 D2 N2 P M1 G2 R2 S

The initial humming portion of the song is set in Desh raga. A Hindustani classical raga, The chalan of this raga is:

Aaroh: S R m PNS.

Avroh: S n D P, D m GR, G.NS

So it uses both Kaapi and Desh.

S R2 M1 P N3 S is a phrase common to Kaapi and Desh and the phrase
