1891C. R. Day Music in S. India ii. 23 The s'rutis are arranged in their different svâras, or intervals of the scale, according to the ‘murchanas’. Of what these murchanas consisted is very doubtful. Ibid. iv. 41 The following short melodies..show as much as possible the full murchanas of their respective râgas. 1914[see jati, jâti]. 1921H. A. Popley Music of India vi. 85 We shall notice..the graced notes, these being called in the north Mūrchanā. 1954Grove's Dict. Mus. (ed. 5) IV. 457/1 Now it is clear that the Sa-grâna and the Ma-grâna are modes of one another. All the same, the Indian theory considers them as separate entities and derives seven octave scales (mūrchanās) from each of them. 1968Indian Mus. Jrnl. V. 54 The term ‘mūrcchanā’. In the early sources this refers to an octave-species within a basic tuning-system... One or two 17th-century śāstra-s, on the other hand, use the term ‘mūrcchanā’..to refer to that ‘pitch-area’ within which the phrases of a rāga operate. 1972P. Holroyde Indian Music 274 Murchhana... The word has been variously used: (a) It is the ancient name for the early modes in Indian music before the raga system emerged. (b) According to Popley's book,..murchhana in South India refers to ascending and descending varna or graph-like grace movements. (c) According to Tagore the murchhana is the extending of the note ‘to another in the ascending as well as the descending scale (like an appoggiatura) without any intermediate break in the disposition of the srutis in the interval’. |
