Theme tune of Colors TV channel Sargam Notes

HOW TO READ THE NOTATIONS

• CAPITAL LETTERS = Shuddh Swars (Pure 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.
