A composition in Rag Lavangi from Sivapadam

Svarantara-Svarantara

4 notes each in arohana and avarohana; Example Lavangi raga

Lavangi 

Creative genius of the many vaggeyakaras (musician-composer) in Karnatic music  is amazing- especially amongst the Trinity composers like Shyama Sastri, Tyagaraja and Muthuswami Dikshitar. Notably, Tyagaraja’s greatness as a composer is reflected not only by the voluminous number of compositions but also many kritis set in uncommon ragas, several of them are his own creations. Tyagaraja is one of the vaggeyakaras, whose has composed maximum number of kritis in rare and uncommon ragas. 

Normally, a raga with 5 swaras is pleasing to listen. But Balamurali Krishna has been responsible for creating  new  ragas like Mahati, Sumukham, Lavangi etc,with only four swaras. These ragas pose challenge for a musician and need special skills  to compose and  render them.

Lavangi is a raga in Carnatic music. It is a Janya raga, whose Mela is Kanakangi (1)

arohana : C Db F Ab C

avarohana : C Ab F Db C

Bala Murali Krishna has composed  keertana `Omkara aakaarini' and rendered  intelligently and mellifulously Lavagi which became very popular.
