Madhyamavati (madhyamāvati) is a rāga in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is an ''audava'' rāga (or ''owdava'' rāga, meaning pentatonic scale). It is a ''janya'' rāga (derived scale), as it does not have all the seven musical notes (''swaras''). The equivalent of ''Madhyamavati'' in Hindustani music is ''Madhumad Sarang''.〔''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras〕 It is considered a very auspicious rāgam and every Carnatic music concert ends with either a song in ''Madhyamavati'' or the ending of the last song is sung in this rāgam.〔''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications〕 It is very suitable for elaboration and exploration due to even spacing of notes. The scale uses the first three notes of the cycle of fifths ''S, P and R2'' and fourths ''S, M1 and N2''.〔 ==Structure and Lakshana== ''Madhyamavati'' is a symmetric rāga that does not contain ''gāndhāram'' or ''dhaivatam''. It is a pentatonic scale (''audava-audava'' rāgam〔〔 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 R2 M1 P N2 S * : S N2 P M1 R2 S This scale uses the notes ''chatushruti rishabham, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam'' and ''kaisiki nishadam''. ''Madhyamavati'' is considered a ''janya'' rāga of ''Kharaharapriya'', the 22nd Melakarta rāga, though it can be derived from other melakarta rāgas, ''Charukesi'', ''Natabhairavi'' or ''Harikambhoji'', by dropping both ''gāndhāram'' and ''dhaivatam''. 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「Madhyamavati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
