Vanamala Center for Art and Culture presents Swara Madhuri rendering of rare and few popular Jathi Svaras and Svarajatis by different composers under the direction of Dr.Meera Rajaram Pranesh. It was presented on the 17th of July 2005 at the Indian Institute of World Culture, Bangalore.
The swaras are the main components of a melody or rāga. These swaras have their origin in the Vedic period. These notes were perceived as if they have life in them and are given 32 qualities or lakṣaṇas like vamśa, jāti, vayōmāna and so on. The presentation of svaras which have their own melody, their own character and charm is Swara Madhuri. The presentation of Jatisvaras and Svarajatis.
These compositional forms fall under the abhyāsa gāna. They depict the complete picture of a particular rāga. After geetes, svarajatis and jatisvaras have complex sanchara-s of the rāga and the svaras are present in all the three stāyis. The usage of gamakas are introduced to a student with this musical form. These forms are filled with all prosodic and rhetorical beauties. Hence svarajatis and jatisvaras were chosen as the theme for the concert.
