Amr̥tavarṣiṇi is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is an ''audava'' rāgam (or ''owdava'' rāgam, meaning pentatonic scale). It is a ''janya'' rāgam (derived scale), as it does not have all the seven ''swaras'' (musical notes). It is a common pentatonic scale of Carnatic music and is believed to produce rain. It is said that the Carnatic composer Muthuswami Dikshitar brought rain at Ettayapuram, Tamil Nadu, India by singing his composition ''Aanandaamrutakarshini Amrutavarshini''.〔''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications〕〔''Rāganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras〕 == Structure and Lakshana == ''Amr̥tavarṣiṇi'' is a rāgam that does not contain ''rishabham'' or ''dhaivatam''. It is a symmetric pentatonic scale (''audava-audava'' ragam〔〔 in Carnatic music classification – ''audava'' meaning 'of 5'). Its ' structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see ''swaras'' in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms): * : S G3 M2 P N3 S * : S N3 P M2 G3 S The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, panchamam, kakali nishādam'') ''Amr̥tavarṣiṇi '' is considered a ''janya'' rāgam of ''Chitrambari'', the 66th ''Melakarta'' rāgam, though it can be derived from other melakarta rāgams, ''Kalyani'', ''Gamanashrama'' or ''Vishwambari'', by dropping both ''rishabham'' and ''dhaivatam''. There is another scale that has the same name but is less practiced in current performances. This scale is associated with the 39th melakarta Jhalavarali.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amritavarshini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
