Sargam notations for the song Banarasiya…

Singer : Shreya Ghoshal
Music Director : A.R. Rahman
Writer : Irshad Kamil
Movie : Ranjhana (2013)

Scale used : G#

A pretty lengthy song.  Took me almost a week to jot down its notations. Lots of ‘Meend’ and ‘Murkis’ used.  As for the Raag on which this Banarasiya song is based, I think it is Raag Yaman Kalyan.  Enjoy!

How to read SARGAM
  • CAPITAL LETTERS Shuddh Swars (Natural Notes)
  • small letters Komal Swars (Flat Notes)
  • with # [hash] or ^ [exponent] = Tivra Madhyam (M# / M^)

  • Letter/Alphabet PRECEDED BY a ” . ” [full stop] or  a ” , ” [comma] = Low Octave Note/Softer blow on flute
