Raag Jaunpuri

Jaunpuri is a Asawari-thaat raag, given its full colour in the 2nd prahar of the day. It uses six swaras on the way up and all seven coming down. Phrases centre on Dhaivat - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Gandhar as samvadi.

Swars: Gandhar Varjya in Aaroh. Gandhar, Dhaivat and Nishad Komal. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.

The synth plays plain notes - the gamak, meend, and andolan that bring a raag to life are what you learn in class with an expert.
