KARNATAKA BEHAG AND HARIKAMBODHI- ANY DIFFERENCE?

Post by RSR »

Is there any major difference between Karnaataka Behaag and Harikaambodhi?
specific reference to 'naenendhu vedu kuthura hari' by Thyagaraja ?

karnATaka behAg uses the phrase M1 G3 R2 G3 S and S N2 D2 N2 P and also S N2 P and M1 G3 S - apart from this all other phrases of this rAgA overlap totally with harikAmbhoji - it's almost like 2 cars that are identical but one has a different sent of tail lamps. :lol:

It's quite clear from LGJ's recording (with kalpanaswaras) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzby7z0ZfN8#t=5m27s

I was in fact wondering what that rAgA was - I had forgotten it. Thanks for reminding me.

There is also a rendition of Brinda and Mukta from the sangeethapriya tribute page to Thyagaraja.

May I know, if the versions cited by me are correct?
