Question

Which one of the following in similar to Major scale ?

A.

Kafi

B.

Bilawal

C.

Asawari

D.

Bhairav

Correct option is B


Correct Option-b)
In Western music theory, the Major scale follows the interval pattern: Tone-Tone-Semitone-Tone-Tone-Tone-Semitone (T-T-S-T-T-T-S). In Hindustani music, the Thaat system provides a framework of scales. One Thaat directly corresponds to this pattern.
Information Booster:
· The Bilawal Thaat is identical to the Western Major scale.
· The scale of Bilawal Thaat is: S R G m P D N S' (Sa, Shuddha Re, Shuddha Ga, Shuddha Ma, Pa, Shuddha Dha, Shuddha Ni).
· This sequence produces the exact same interval structure: C D E F G A B C in the key of C.
· It is considered the basic, natural scale in Hindustani music and serves as the reference point, just as the Major scale does in Western music.
Additional Knowledge:
· Kafi Thaat uses Komal Ga and Komal Ni (like the Western Dorian mode).
· Asavari Thaat uses Komal Ga, Komal Dha, and Komal Ni (like the Western Aeolian mode or Natural Minor scale).
· Bhairav Thaat uses Komal Re and Komal Dha, creating a distinctive modal sound with no direct Western major/minor equivalent.
