In the same C major scale, if go from the fifth note to the higher fifth,
This would be the dominant seventh.
'Komal nikhaad' is being used here.
So, this is dominant seventh.
This is called the Mixolydian mode in Western music.
And... um...
It is beautifully used in our Eastern music as well.
It has a very mixed sound.
(Humming the song "Yaad")
and...
another one of my songs.
(Singing 'Din Pareshan Hai')
This mode is known as Khaamaj Thaat in our music.
and mixolydian in Western music.
What a beautiful scale...
In my opinion,
Usually, when it comes to music, people think that minor scales are best used for sad music
and major scales for happy music.
Technically, this is also a major scale
But is dominant seventh.
In my personal opinion, I think, this is the saddest scale when it comes to me.
Such melancholic compositions can be made in this scale, if you ask me,.
Incredibly heartfelt, even though it's kind of a major scale.
But, sounds pretty sad. This is Khamaaj Thaat and has countless beautiful raagas.
Anyways...
Now we're moving on from the fifth mode to the sixth.
We call this the Asaawari Thaat.
In Western music it can be used for something like this...
(Asaawari Thaat - Aeolian Mode)
In our music, you'll find many different scales
Like...
Or...
(Darbari, Jaunpuri and Asawari)
Sorry, I've got a sore throat today, but since I promised to release the video today, I tried my best and recorded it anyway.
