Tune Shivranjan (rAg Shivranjan) is a pentatonic tune. Meaning: Five notes are used in ascendant and descendant.
Shivranjan comes to us with a mood of melancholy and grief, it is not a taboo to use it even to express joy.
Ascendant Notes of Shivranjan: c,d,d#,g,a,c'. Descendant: c',a,g,d#,d,c.
Shivranjan (or Sivranjan) differs from bhoop (bhUp) or bhOpAli only in use of notes d# and e. Bhoop uses the stronger note 'e'. Shivranjan uses the milder note d#. In other words bhoop uses cdegac' where as shivranjan uses cdd#gac'.
When some alien notes are sparingly used to raise sweetness, we may get misr shivranjan (mixed shivranjan).
In South India also rAg Shivranjan (sivaranjani) is very popular. In this context, we can recall a composition of Late Rajagopalachary, in a rAga mAlika , which is sung at the end of concerts. Shivranjan we may classify under Kharaharapriya or Gaurimanohari mElakarta. We can even classify it under dharmavati or haimavati.
