Subject: Re: Mohanam / Bhupali & 5-note scales
In article <[email protected]> [email protected] (Arthur Levine) writes:
I looked at it again. I think there are eight possibilities, and three of them are anomalous:
The number of mOhanam-like (ie. penta-tonic scales with reShaBha-gAnDhAra-panjcama-DhIvatha notes) can be easily computed---the actual number depends on whether you want to consider vevAdhe svaras or not.
Considering vevAdhe svaras:
r1 (g1/g2/g3) (d1/d2/d3) : 1 x 3 x 3 = 9 r2 (g2/g3) (d1/d2/d3) : 1 x 2 x 3 = 6 r3 g3 (d1/d2/d3) : 1 x 1 x 3 = 3 ---------------------------------------------- total : 18 ----------------------------------------------
Okay. If you don't want to consider the vevAdhe svaras (ie. eliminate the r3/g1/d3 notes), the number of possibilities is:
r1 (g2/g3) (d1/d2) : 1 x 2 x 2 = 4 r2 (g2/g3) (d1/d2) : 1 x 2 x 2 = 4 ---------------------------------------------- total : 8 ----------------------------------------------
which Art Levine mentions in his article. The table below lists the karNAtaka rAgas for each of these possibilities (with approximate hendhusthAne equivalents for some of them).
