PD mama any raga which will be pleasant to hear will need to have minimum 5 swaras which are nothing but notes, ( sa, ri, ga etc., ) However people have been experimenting to bring down these numbers and create raagas with swaras count like 4,3,2 swaras. Mangalampalli Balamurali has created raagas with 4 swaras. He is a genius of his kind. If you see Ilayaraja has composed a song with 3 notes ( swaras ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwGeHvOCxfQ there are few people like them experimented on making raagas/compositions lesser than traditional number of swarams till 2 swaras. In that scenario, making a song on eka swaram means on one note is extremely challenging to make it listenable. There are ekaswara vakra raagas where raagas ascending and descending is displaced by one note. but I think here they made a good effort in presenting eka swaram. If what I understood as eka swaram means and what they presented is.. They say most of the vedic chanting is based on ekaswara. mallela teeramlo SP |
