Bhairav, or Bhairon, is a raga in Hindustani classical music. It corresponds to Mayamalavagowla, the first raga taught to beginners in Carnatic music. Bhairav has its name from Bhairava, a name of Shiva. It is traditionally performed before sunrise. Bhairav was for centuries considered to be the most important Hindustani raga, though its modern form, with flattened second, differs from that described in the old texts. The ''Raga Sagara'' (c. 8th century) describes the raga as awe-inspiring, expressing the "fulfilment of the desire to worship." Mesakarna (1509) calls it a morning melody of the autumn season, one of awesome grandeur. Today it is the head raga for one of the ten Hindustani modes, called ''that''. It appears in the Sikh Guru Granth Sahib as the twenty-fourth in the series of 31 ragas. Compositions in this raga, 99 hymns by Guru Nanak, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das and Guru Arjan, appear on 43 pages from pp. 1125 to 1168. There are several variants and ragas derived from the same scale, including Ahir Bhairav, Bairagi, Ramkali and Jogiya (raga). Raga Bhairav is also sometimes linked to raga Bhairavi, reflecting the goddess Bhairavi's association as consort of Shiva. Bhairav appears in the Ragmala as the husband of Bhairavi and four other raginis. ==Nature== * Aroha : Sa Re(komal) Ga Ma Pa Dha(Komal) Ni Sa * Avaroha : Sa Ni Dha(komal) Pa Ma Ga Re(komal) Sa * Vadi: Dha * Samvadi: Re Bhairav has few characteristic phrases. The vadis are performed with a slow, wide vibrato that may begin on the vadi itself or at the highest limit to which it will extend. In descent vibrato must begin with upper limit. 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「Bhairav (raga)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
