    Mr. Musician,

    Please enlighten us about raags and raagnis.
    HOw many of them are there.

    I reckon, Khowaja Khursheed Anwer tried to record an encyclopeida or samples of all raags and raagnis. Not sure if his project was completed.

    I wish I knew even 0.000000000000000000001 per cent of it except to say that Music is like a bottom less sea and no one knows how much water there is.

    I do have Khurshid Anwar's work in the form of 12 old Audio Casetts and indeed very informative, if only one could understand.

    Mr. Mirza

    With due respect even when one singing and or listening to Raags, it has poetry in it. The singer may only sing one or two couplets but it has poetry in it. I can understand that you do not wish to be discussed on the other Thread but tht should not mean that both cannot be discussed on this or Does it? Please clarify.

    Dear Musician,
    Is it true that Raag Yamen or Amen Kalyan was innovated by Hazrat Ameer Khusro?

    Mr. Musician,

    Original raangs and raagnis were sung without words. There used to be no words, let alone poetry in classical. Later they introduced a sentence or word in their raags and would repeat one word or sentence in the act and then gradually poems and ghazals were introduced.

    I think both poetry and music can be discussed in one thread. No problems with that.

    Ameer Khusroo introduced Tabla and Sitar in their modern forms.

    Ameer Khusroo introduced Yaman. Dont think Amen Kalyaan was his innovation. He did introduce many other styles of singins. Most famous of them are khayal, ghazals and Qawwali.

    1. kawja Khursheed Anwar compiled and made Raag Mala consisting of ten Cassettes based on Ten(10) Thaats,following the foot step of Bhaat Khande the great Musicologist who classified all Raags and Raagnis into Thaat system.
    This Rag Mala was available on a Pakistani based website "sarangi.info".

    2.There have been very few songs composed on Raag Mian Ki Todi Khawja Khursheed Anwar produced a very famous melodic song based on this Raag

    There are thousands of Raags and Raagnis and are still being created by people till today.
    Many of them are centuries old and some are new
    Raag Bairagi Bhairov is an example. It is believed to have been composed by Ravi Shanker and has been used in one Pakistani famous ghazal sung and composed by Mehdi Hassan.

    Bravo Peterpan

    jis din se piya ........ have been part of my mental libray for many many years but I never had the pleasure of seeing Noor jehan singing it live (almost). Thank you again for that. I do have Raag Mala which I acquired on one of my trips to Pakistan from Shalimar Recording company. It has been collectin dust and I must get back to it sometime.

    Again I have never seen Mehdi Hassan so young and this reflects in this rendering where he touches notes very clearly. Good. Was it Taari on table with him?

    Who ever initiated this idea of sher-o-shaery-o-naghma has done a great service to this forum and the members.
    All discussion was going so boring and tense that people were getting sick and angry to each other.
    But peotry and music is really attractive and without tension what most of the members would like to join and relax.
    I have found that Peterpan and Musician are very knowledgeable about the Science of Music.
    Would they guide me why most of the film songs are in Raag Bharvin and Darbari where most of the Ghazala are composed in Raaga Maulkons?

    "Would they guide me why most of the film songs are in Raag Bharvin and Darbari where most of the Ghazala are composed in Raaga Maulkons?"

    1.Raag Bhairvi consist of 7 sur (notes), but the beauty of this Raag is that other notes can also be included while composing any song or bandish.Also it can be sung any time.This Raag is one of the most popular Raag in composing Flim songs and folk music.

    2. Darbari is sort of a heavy weight Raag, and is rarely composed in a fast pace songs.Most of the songs composed in this Raag are medium to slow pace.This Raag has been widely used in composing Ghazals.

    Two very popular ghazals in Darbari
    Mehdi Hasan sing Parveen Shakir

    A very popular old Ghazal by S B John Sahab

    3.Malkauns consist of only five sur(notes).It is used mostly in classical,semi classical,and some songs.
    It is hardly used in Ghazal.

    Are these raags/music notes invented by Muslims of sub-continent or these have existed long before? Any information on history of these raags?

    @JJ Khan Sahab

    Raags and Raagnis have been in use for centuries,and it is difficult for any one to say with certainty the history of most of them. Some Raagas currently used in Pakistan and Northern part of India are borrowed from Southern part of India which is called Carnatic Music.
    As for Muslim contribution to the Music,prior to their arrival there was Dhurpad and Dhammar ( Religious ) Chanting limited to Mandirs. Muslim brought or introduced Music to the public by Qawwali, Khyal Gayaki,and later on Thumri,Dadra,Ghazals .

    This interview of Khawja Khurshid Anwar might be of help to you.

    Thank you for the post of Khurshid Anwar's interview. I have his Raag Mala. Now I can put a face to his voice and I am sure I will enjoy it even more.

    Also it was very good for your explain about the moods of Bharvi, Malkaus and Darbari.

    I think because of the knowlede you possess about the music, I have decided to confer the title of "Khan Shahib" on you and I hope that you will accept it without any fuss.

    Dear Peterpan,
    Thanks for providing an up to date information about certain myths about Music.
    I was looking for the Song from S.B. John for the last so many years.
    A Music Library is incomplete without this old composition which after 50 years, still sounds fresh.
    Note its Antaras and the blend of AAsthai supported by melodious interludes of orchestra.
    I guess this song was composed by Mr. Robin Ghosh?
    Thanks for sharing this song.

    Keeping in view the services and contributions for the Forum,

    Dr. Khan Sahib should be awarded with the Title of:
    Nishan-i-Forum or Imtiaz-i-Forum

    Mr. Musician should be awarded with a Title of:
    Mishan-i-Mauseeqi or Imtiaz-i-Mauseeqi

    Moderators, Beena and Semirza should be awarded with Title of:
    Pasbaan-i-Forum

    If no objection or alternative is posted within 24 hours, the motion would be acknowledged as carried subject to the acceptance of receivers.

    You have a valid point about the Seniority of a member.

    We can hold the Title of Nishan-i-Mauseeqi for the time being.
    I personally feel that being a controversial writer, I don't qualify for any Title at the Forum.

    I am thankful to those who tolerate my non sense.

    I am here to share my past and enjoy the final period of my future in a company of my own people.
    How is that?

    And if you want to enjoy the company of your own people then you should accept their will and accept the honour conferred on you BUT I would suggest the title as:

    Sitara -e-"Pehchan-e- Mosedqui"

    And I can assure you that your writings are not controversial. I have read them all.
