Valaji or Valachi is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a pentatonic scale (''audava'' or ''owdava'' rāgam, which means "of 5"). It is a ''janya'' rāgam (derived scale), as it does not have all the seven ''swaras'' (musical notes). The equivalent of ''Valaji'' in Hindustani music is ''Kalāvati''.〔''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications〕〔''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras〕 == Structure and Lakshana == ''Valaji'' is a symmetric rāgam that does not contain ''rishabham'' or ''madhyamam''. It is a pentatonic scale (''audava-audava'' rāgam〔〔 in Carnatic music classification). Its ' structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see ''swaras'' in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms): * : S G3 P D2 N2 S * : S N2 D2 P G3 S (the notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, antara gandharam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham and kaisiki nishadam'') ''Valaji'' is considered a ''janya'' rāgam of ''Chakravakam'', the 16th ''Melakarta'' rāgam, though it can be derived from other melakarta rāgams, ''Harikambhoji'', ''Vagadheeswari'', ''Ramapriya'', ''Vachaspati'' or ''Nasikabhooshani'', by dropping both ''rishabham'' and ''madhyamam''. Since ''Chakravakam'' is lowest in ordinal number among these 6 ''melakarta'' scales, ''Valaji'' is associated with it. 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「Valaji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
