The song opens directly with the violin after a brief synth pad. This is the most requested part for the Kadhale Kadhale cover.
Western Notes (Key: C# Minor):
G#3 - B3 - C#4 - E4 | C#4 - B3 - G#3 - B3 | F#3 - G#3 - A3 - B3 | C#4 (Hold)
Sargam (Indian Carnatic Equivalent):
Dha# - Ni - Sa - Ga | Sa - Ni - Dha# - Ni | Ma# - Dha# - Pa - Ma | Ga (Hold)
(Note: In C# minor, Ma# = F#, Ga = E, Sa = C#, Ni = B, Dha# = A#)
Bowing Pattern for the Repack:
[D D D D] | [U U U U] | D U D U | D (sustain)
Scale: E Minor (relative to C Major, but the tonal center is E). Western Notes: E, F#, G, A, B, C, D. Indian Swaras: Sa (E), Ri1 (F#), Ga3 (G), Ma1 (A), Pa (B), Dha1 (C), Ni3 (D).
For violinists, this is an ideal key. E Minor allows you to utilize the open E string for a rich, resonant drone. The primary melody sits comfortably in the first and third positions.
Tuning Advice: Tune your violin to standard A=440 Hz. The song uses a subtle amount of reverb, so aim for a warm, slow vibrato rather than aggressive bowing.
