Indian Classical: the Bhairavi thaat

In Hindustani classical terms, B Minor maps to the Bhairavi thaat (Western mode: Phrygian (all-komal / flat everything)). Closest to the Phrygian mode — most notes are flat (komal). The most versatile and 'universal' raga of Hindustani music, sung at the end of concerts. Evokes deep pathos. Traditional listening time: Early morning / concert finale.

If you want to sing or practise in this key, set your tonic (Sa) to B. Ragas built on this thaat:

• Bhairavi — Phrygian — ♭2 ♭3 ♭6 ♭7, all natural notes allowed in ascent. Pathos, farewell, longing.
• Malkauns — Minor pentatonic ♭2 (Sa ga ma dha ni) — very dark, nocturnal. Dark, mystical, powerful (Late night).
• Chandrakauns — Pentatonic minor ♭2 variant of Malkauns. Meditative, moonlit (Night).
• Sindhura — Bhairavi with raised 4th (♭2 ♭3 ♯4 ♭6 ♭7). Romantic, graceful.
