Raag Jogkauns

Jogkauns is a Bhairavi-thaat raag, given its full colour in the 3rd prahar of the night. It uses six swaras on the way up and six coming down, taking a vakra (winding) path rather than a straight line. Phrases centre on Madhyam - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Shadj as samvadi.

Swars: Rishabh Varjya. Both Nishads, Both Gandhars, Dhaivat Komal. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.

Sargam is written with Sa on C: komal swars are lowercase, teevra Ma is M̄, ʼ before a swar marks the lower (mandra) octave and Ṡ / ʼ after marks the upper (taar) octave. 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.
