Raag Tilang Bahar
Raag Tilang Bahar belongs to the Khamaj (when Tilang is dominant) or Kafi (when Bahar is dominant) thaat and is traditionally sung in the 2nd prahar of the night. It uses six swaras on the way up and all seven coming down, taking a vakra (winding) path rather than a straight line. Phrases centre on Gandhar (Tilang) or Madhyam (Bahar) - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Nishad (Tilang) or Shadj (Bahar) as samvadi.
Swars: Rishabh Varjya in Aaroh. Both Gandhars, both Nishads. 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.
