श्याम कल्याण

राग श्याम कल्याण बडा ही मीठा राग है। यह कल्याण और कामोद अंग (ग म प ग म रे सा) का मिश्रण है।

इस राग को गाते समय कुछ बातों का ध्यान रखना महत्वपूर्ण है। गंधार आरोह मे वर्ज्य नही है, तब भी ग म् प नि सा' नही लेना चाहिये, बल्कि रे म् प नि सा' लेना चाहिये। गंधार को ग म प ग म रे साइस तरह आरोह में लिया जाता है। सामान्यतः इसका अवरोह सा' नि ध प म१ प ध प ; ग म प ग म रे सा इस तरह से लिया जाता है। अवरोह में कभी कभी निषाद को इस तरह से छोड़ा जाता है जैसे - प सा' सा' रे' सा' नि सा' ध ध प।

As the sun sets, another set of Sandhi Prakash ragas come into the picture. These are the counterparts of the pre-dawn ragas. At this time, light meets darkness unlike dawn and this difference is reflected in the swaras used.The sunset ragas are once again somber and introspective. This volume begins with Pandit Jasraj's vocal rendition of raga Marwa. This is followed by raga Shree, sung by Shruti Sadolikar. The volume concludes with raga Hamsadhwani, rendered by Shahid Parvez on the sitar. The ragas are clearly for an early evening or the dusk
