Raag Hameer Introduction

Raag Hameer, a short presentation

Key Features of Raag Hameer

  • Hameer uses both Ma’s.

  • Dha must be accompanied by a kan of Ni.

  • It is uttarang pradhan and chanchal in nature which means the raag is not developed with slow and steady phrases one swar at a time. It has many fast-moving non-linear phrases.

  • The veer ras or emotions of courage are likely expressed due to the inherent tempo of the raag and the treatment given to Dha.

  • Hameer contains the Kamod Ang in the form of the phrase G M R S. Care should be taken to keep Hameer from entering the territory of Kedar, Kamod, Chhayanut, Gaud Sarang, or Shyam Kalyan.

  • Mood:  bravery, courage

  • Movement of notes: vakra and chanchal (fast phrases).
