Raga Hameer

About Raga Hameer

Raga Hameer / Hamir

Hameer is very popular due to its melodious, appealing nature. Raga Hameer is a powerful raga of Veer-Rasa (fills one with enthusiasm and courage of warriors) and is very dynamic. The combinations G M N D ; D D P alone instantly kindle the melodic form.

Hameer is a nocturnal Hindustani classical raga nominally placed in Kalyan thaat. All the (shuddha swaras (natural notes) along with (teevra madhyam are used in it.

Employment of Meend and Khatka in arriving at Dhaivat from Nishad adds to tonal beauty. In Hameer, Dhaivat is very powerful and is a Nyas Swar which represents Veer Ras. G m N D ; D D P these are characteristic notes of Hameer. Madhyam Teevra is rendered like: M P G m D.

Uttarang can be started like: G m (N)D N S' or P D P P S' or G m D N D S' or M P D N S'. In Avroh, Gandhar is used in Vakra form like M P G m R S or P G m R S. An occasional deployment of Rishabh in Aaroh is permissible for beautification of the melodic form. For example: R G m D P G m R S. In Avroh, rare deployment of Komal Nishad as a Vivadi Swar is permissible.

This is a Uttarang Pradhan raga which can be expanded in Madhya and Tar Saptaks.

Raga Hameer belongs to the class of ‘big’ ragas and is known to project a vigorous, dramatic mien. It is occasionally referred to as Hameer Kalyan (not to be confused with Hameer Kalyani of the Carnatic paddhati, which is the equivalent of the Hindustani Kedar). As a traditional Hindustani denizen of considerable heft, one finds in Hameer a variety of old dhrupad, dhamar and khayal compositions.

Hameer is of Vakra build; the arohana-avarohana set serves to provide no more than a silhouette. The essence of Hameer lies in the curvature of its arohi prayogas and the crucial role accorded the Dhaivat.
