Yakshagana raga
''Yakshagana rāga'' (Kannada:ಯಕ್ಷಗಾನ ರಾಗ, pronounced as ''yaksha-gaana raaga'') refers to melodic modes used in yakshagana. It is based on pre-classical melodic forms that consist of a series of five or more musical notes upon which a melody is founded.〔Prof. Sridhara Uppara. 1998.Yakshagana and Nataka Diganta publications〕 Yakshagana rāgas have indigenous rāgas and others derived from other forms of music. Rāgas in yakshagana are closely associated with a set of melodic forms called ''mattu''. Yakshagana rāgas have their own ''gamaka''. Although yakshagana rāgas share names with rāgas in other Indian music systems, they are compositionally different, with a few exceptions. More than 80 rāgas have been identified to have survived the onslaught of popular and elite musical systems.〔''Dr. Shivarama Karantha, Yakshagana Bayalaata, Harsha Publications, 1963, Puttur, South Canara.〕 In Yakshagana tradition, rāgas are associated with different times of the night throughout which Yakshagana is performed.
== Nature of yakshagana rāga ==
''Rāga'' describes a generalised form of melodic practice. It also records a set of rules for building the melody. Yakshagana rāga follows not only these rules but also certain rhythmic and melodic structures called ''mattu''. Rāga specifies the rules for movements up (''aaroha'' ()) and down (''avroha'' ()) the musical scale; which ''swara'' (notes) should figure more and which should be used more sparingly; which notes to stress more; which notes may be sung with ''gamaka''; phrases to be used; phrases to be avoided; and so on. The result is a framework that can be used to compose or improvise melodies, allowing for endless variation within the set of notes. What makes yakshagana singing different are, among other things, ''yaksha gamaka'', which are distinct sets of notes and also way of approaching a note or rendering a note to form a particular ''mattu''.
More than adhering to stricter scale, yakshagana rāga follows the metre of yakshagana poetry called the ''Yakshagana Chandhas''. The melody is formed from a deep voice formed by controlling muscles as low as pelvic and abdominal muscles. This high pitched singing might have come out of need to reach all audience in a ''yakshagana bayalata'', which is an outdoor activity. Recently singers have adopted softer singing because of the microphone. Some Hindustani rāgas modified to suit yakshagana performance can also be seen (e.g. bhimpalas).〔Prof.Sridhar Uppura, Yakshagana and Nataka, Diganta publications, 1998〕
Yakshagana rāgas are rendered but are not elaborated, sung swiftly to suit theatrical performance. Each song may complete within less than a minute, or a few minutes. Therefore, several songs of same rāga used for various plots must be heard to experience the full features of yakshagana rāga.
