Sargam Notation

Kya Hua Tera Wada

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 ONLY = Medium Pitch/Normal blow on flute
  • Letter/Alphabet PRECEDED BY a ” . ” [full stop] or  a ” , ” [comma] = Low Octave Note/Softer blow on flute
  • Letter/Alphabet FOLLOWED BY a ‘ [single quote] = High Octave Note/harder blow on flute
  • Notes in { } “murki” have to be played very fast without any pause
  • A Note in ( ) “kann swar” has to be just touched before moving on to the next note
  • A “~” between two Notes  = “meend”. That is, you have to glide from one note to another slowly to produce that wavy effect.
  • Few “….” (dots) after a note = Play and hold that note

Scale of flute I used : G#

Brilliant composition by RD!  I have tried to write the notations of the entire song including Prelude, music pieces, and interludes.  This song Kya Hua Tera Wada has two Antaras in the same tune but the interlude pieces before each are different.  All Notes are Shuddh and easy to play on Flute and other instruments.  Enjoy!

Ke | tujhe | kuchh | bhi |
yaad | nahin
