Nice blog entry, ramakriya. That BMK hamsadhwani is very experimental!
Here's my ultimate favourite (MDR-TNK-VR; vAthApi with R, S):

I have always been fascinated by MDR's hamsadhwani because of the way he ends several of his phrases (especially evident in this alapanai) with a distinctly kEdAram-ish S R,,,, GRS,,,. The first few times I heard this usage I was rather perplexed, but now I love it.
Another favourite (TNK-Viji):

A really well developed essay.

Ramakriya: Nice write-up!! Interestingly, Hamsadhwani in HM has an identity that is distinct from Shankara whose origins, however, remain obscure!

Try Veena Kuppayyar's song in the KaLahasti pancaratnam - Birana nannu brova.

Has anybody heard "Nera Mora " a padam in Hamsadhwani?
Neramo rA jAra-cora is a javali attributed to pallavi Doreswamy iyer..
It is sung by Rama Ravi.. There is even a commercial recording..
I am very interested in this composer.. Has anyone else a pATAntara of this song..? Are there renditions by Brinda or her kin..?

Ramakriya,
Just got to see your blog! Very nice! Yes, how did such a nice rAgam got the name of a honking bird's sound! I suppose the word hamsa conjures up images of a beautiful and soft feathered bird of the legends to inspire rAgam names like hamsAnandi and hamsa nAdam too!
Rashid Khan's hamsadhwani is delightful. I find his solid delivery of svarams pleasing.When the bandish is rich with imagery as this particular one, the pleasure is more, mainly for CM listeners who are used to krutis with their weight in meaning.
The avarOhaNam in HM is not SRGPNS but SRGPGRSGPNS according to this clip while the avarOhaNam is the same.??
The film song 'jA tujh se nahin bOlUn kanhaiyA' in ParivAr (?) is very similar to this.

ok. Sorry, this may not be relevant , but I just could not resist drawing up the meaning - Hamsa dwani -" swan song"??? the wiki says "The phrase "swan song" is a reference to an ancient belief that the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is completely mute during its lifetime until the moment just before it dies, when it sings one beautiful song.[1]

Thanks, this is lovely. I thought chatushruti dhaivata featured as an anusvara in some of the N-P descent phrases: did anyone else notice this?vallaki wrote:For any one in love with this raga, please listen to Kishori Amonkar's rendering of a a tarana (is that an equivalent of our thillana??) in musicindiaonline.com. That is amazing indeed.
