Mohanam 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 ''swaras'' (musical notes). The equivalent of ''Mohanam'' in Hindustani music is ''Bhoop''〔''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications〕 (or ''Bhopali''〔''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras〕). It is one of the common pentatonic scales across the world〔 and is very popular in East Asian and South-east Asian music, including China and Japan. == Structure and Lakshana == ''Mohanam'' is a symmetric rāga that does not contain ''madhyamam'' or ''nishādham''. It is a symmetric pentatonic scale (''audava-audava'' raga〔〔 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 G3 P D2 S * : S D2 P G3 R2 S (the notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham'') ''Mohanam'' is considered a ''janya'' rāga of ''Harikambhoji'', the 28th ''Melakarta'' rāga, though it can be derived from other melakarta rāgas, ''Kalyani'', ''Sankarabharanam'' or ''Vachaspati'', by dropping both ''madhyamam'' and ''nishādham''. The Hindustani equivalent ''Bhoop'' is associated with ''Kalyan thaat'' (equivalent of ''Kalyani''). One of the first scales employed by the ancient Tamils was the Mullaippann (3BCE), a pentatonic scale composed of the notes sa ri ga pa da equivalent to C, D, E, G and A in the western notations. These fully harmonic scales, constitutes the raga Mohanam in the Carnatic music style. 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「Mohanam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
