Chords for How to sing 'Malargal Ketten' swaras | VoxGuru ft. Pratibha Sarathy

Hi friends, today we are going to learn the beautiful swara pattern of Malargal Ketin.
This has been beautifully composed by A.
R.
Rahman and it's based on the raga Bihag,
specifically the Carnatic version of Bihag.
[C] So let's go ahead and learn this wonderful swara pattern. _
Ga Ga Ma Ga Ma Re Ma Ga Re Sa Ni Re Sa
_ So observe how all the swaras are connected to each other.
We don't sing it in a very plain way like
Ga Ga Ma Ga Ma Re Ma Ga Re Sa Ni Re Sa
We don't sing like that.
We sing it like
Ga Ga Ma Ga Ma Re Ma Ga Re Sa Ni Re Sa
So these connections are actually very important.
So just by seeing the swara notation, we cannot capture all of this.
So you need to also pay a lot of attention when you are listening to the swaras. _
Ga Ga Ma Ga Ma Re Ma Ga Re Sa Ni Re Sa Moving on
Pa Ma Ga Ma Ta Ma Ga Re Sa Ni Re Sa
So here if you notice, this phrase
Pa Ma Ga Ma
_ This has both the types of Ma, right? _
Pa Ma _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Ga Ma _ _ Ma 1 Ok? _
So that is one of the specialities of Raga Bihag.
It has both the lower and the higher Ma.
So wherever it is Ma 2, I will put it as capital M
and wherever it is Ma 1, we will say small m.
_ Pa Ma Ga _ _ _ Ma Ga
So here we are skipping the Pa
so you have to be very careful with your Shruti.
Ga Ma Ga Re Sa Ni Re Sa Ok?
Next part
Ga Ma Sa Ni Sa Da Ni Ma Ta Ga Ma Re Ga Sa So here
Ga Ma Sa Ni Sa
So that is a big jump, right?
Ga Ma Sa
From Ma to Sa
Ga Ma Sa Ni Sa
Da Ni Ma Ta Ga Ma Re Ga Sa
So in Sa we give a light Briga
_ _ Sa Ni Sa Da Ni Sa _ Ni Sa Ma Ga Ga Ok?
So when we sing Ma, we have to glide.
Ni Sa Ma Ga Ga
So don't sing it plainly like Ni Sa Ma Ga Ga No
Ni Sa Ma Ga Ga _ Ni Sa Pa Ma Ma Ga
So here again it's a jump.
Ni Sa Pa Ma Ma Ga _
Sa Ni Sa Ga Ma Ga
Sa Ni Sa Ga Ma Ga
So again we are jumping, right?
From Sa to Ga
_ Re Ni Da Ma Ma Ga
_ So all these phrases are finally coming and landing on Ga, right?
Ni Sa Ma Ga Ga
Ni Sa Pa Ma Ma Ga
Sa Ni Sa Ga Ma Ga
Re Ni Da Ma Ma Ga Ga Ma Ga
So finally we make it a longer phrase.
Ga Ga Ma Ga Ga Ga Ma Re Ga Ni Re Ni Ga Re Ma Ga Re Sa
So here again we have a lot of zigzag notes, right?
_ Ga Ga Ma Ga _
Ga Ga Ma Re Ga _
Ni Re _ Ni Ga Re _ Ma
Ga Re Sa Ok? _ _
Ni Re Ni Ga Re Ma Ga Re Sa
Be very careful with each and every note
because this is a slightly tricky pattern.
And now the last part.
Pa Ma Da Ma Ni Da Ni Ma Da Ga Ma Re Ga Sa
This is also a little tricky, right?
Because we are using both the ma's
and we are using a lot of zigzag patterns. _
Pa Ma Da
_ Ma Ni Da Ni
Ma Da Ga Ma
See this is a different ma. _
Ma Da Ga _ Ma _
Re Ga Sa
Pa Ma Da Ma Ni Da Ni
Ma Da Ga Ma Re Ga Sa
So pay attention to each and every note here.
Now let's sing this entire swara portion with the beat.
Keep observing which swara falls on which beat. _ _
Ga Ga Ma Ga Ma Re Ma Ga Re Sa Ni Re Sa
Pa Ma Ga Ma Da Ma Ga Re Sa Ni Re Sa
Ga Ma Sa Ni Sa Da Ni Ma Da Ga Ma Re Ga Sa
Ni Sa Ga Ni So
Ni Sa Ma Ga Ga
Ni Sa Pa Ma Ma Ga
Sa Ni Sa Ga Ma Ga
Re Re Ma Ma Ga
Ga Ma Ga Ga
Ga Ma Re Ga Ni Re Ni Re Ga Re Ma gim Ah Ga Re Sa _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Hope you enjoyed learning this beautiful swara pattern. Practice it well and share your rendition with me on social media.
