vel,
I was confused between Abhogi and Malayamarutham in the pallavi. Initially thought it was Abhogi, then thought it was probably Malayamarutham. The confusion becomes more acute with Malayamarutham and Valaji being 'close' to each other.
suresh, while malayamarutham has some more serious tone to it, valaji is more of playful white energy :)
This shift of abhogi to valaji is also employed in yesteryear classic 'naan andri yaar varuvaar' ..i just love this song in TR Mahalingam's sort-of-feminine-nasal-yet-majestic voice. Film is maalai itta mangai. SOTD discussed it here http://www.dhool.com/sotd2/924.html :)
vel,
I guess the raga interpretation to mood is very subjective. I always feel that Valaji is a serious mood raga where Malayamarutham is more colorful. Same with Bairavi. I always associate it with some sort of 'gambheeram' whereas lot of people associate it with 'sogam'.

malayamarudham has an additional note Ri to play more flexibly than valaji. But that Ri1 coming just after the Sa is what gives a more serious tone to malayamarutham i think. Even if you take the parent scale chakravagam, knocking away that Ri1 and changing it to Ri2 makes it a totally light music-ish harikambhodhi. Another example is to look at kanakangi, the first melam. Every note being close to each other - thats a pretty stiff scale. The genius of raaja used it in mogam enum theeyil in sindhu bhairavi movie.Quote:

kalavathy - 2 paatu dhan enaku theriyum.
1. Vasantha kalam varumo
2. Devi sridevi

kalavathi is the hindustani equivalent of valaji. thats all. both are same notes wise.
