MAHABHARATA theme (TV Serial) Sargam Notes

HOW TO READ THE NOTATIONS

CAPITAL LETTERS
= Shuddh Swars (Natural Notes)
small letters
= Komal Swars (Flat Notes)
M with # [hash]
= Tivra Madhyam (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

Here are the Sargam notations for the popular theme tune of the Indian TV serial “Mahabharat”

it is very difficult to get notations by just reading it… It will be very helpful if you put an audio of the tunes played on your flute.. Thank You for the notations..

  Notes in brackets indicate that those notes just have to be touched and let go.
