132 Listening Exercise in North Indian tune bhOpali (also called rAg bhoop or bhUp) 4 beat (tIn tAl)

RAG (Indian name for melodious tunes) bhOpAli (also called bhoop or bhUp) is a very popular rAg in North Indian Music, very sweet to listen.







It is pentatonic.  In India, we call it auDav.  Ascendant: c,d,e,g,a,c'.  Descendant: c',a,g,e,d,c.

In the North Indian Music, it is considered as a derivative of the KhamAj group (khamAj thAT).

In South Indian Music (CarnATic Music) , rAg bhOpAli is called mOhana rAgam. 

In South Indian Music, mOhana is considered as a derivative of the Mother Tune No. 28 hari kAmbhOji.

Listening exercises help us to gain svara gnAna (ability to identify notes immediately after listening).  Hence I am providing this listening exercise.
