SIDE ONE
Raga Yaman Kalyan: This raga is usually expounded during the first part of the night. Musicians prefer to open their sittings with Yaman Kalyan because it has the capacity of creating an atmosphere of soothing and queit peace – thus laying an impressive foundation for the performance. It permits all the notes in the ascent (aroha) and the descent (avaroha). The fourth note, Madhyama, is used in the Sharp (Teevra) form in both, but in the descent the use of Flat (komal) Madhyama distinguishes it from the main raga ‘Yaman’, establishing the ‘Kalyan’ character of ‘Yaman’. The scales are thus:
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni
Sa Ni Dha pa Ma Ga Ma Ga Re
SIDE TWO
Raga Multani: It is not definitely known how the raga got this name. Presumably someone from the city of Multan (in the old Punjab) is the originator of this melody. It is ascribed the hour of afternoon for exposition and listeners of afternoon or early evening concerts usually come under its hypnotic spell. In the ascent (aroha) it is pentatonic since it drops the second note ‘Rishabh’ and sixth note ‘Dhaivata’. The descent (avaroha) is without any omission. The second note ‘Rishabh’, the third note ‘Gandhar’ and the sixth note ‘Dhaivata’ are all Flats (Komal) and the fourth note ‘Madhyama’ is sharp (Teevra). The scale, therefore, is thus:
Ascent – Ni Sa Ga Ma pa Ni Sa
Descent – Sa Ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Re Sa
Dhagi Truka Dhee na
Ta Tin Tin Na
Na Dhin Dhin Na
