Mela Shamalangi is the first mela belonging to the Disi Chakra. The six mela belonging to this group all use a lower tetrachord of a type wich is familiar to western musicians, being found in modes such as The Hingarian minor. This makes mela Shamanlagi unique to Carnatic music. Also this one is the 55 of the 72 Carnatic scales.

for this composition I am using an Oriental scale called Doble Harmonic Scale. When the thirth and seventh of a Phrygian mode are raised by a semitone, the result is the Double Harmonic Scale also known as the fifth mode of the Hungarian Minor Scale.

For this composition I used the scale Simhendramadhyamam, being the number 57 of the 72 Carnatic scales. This scale has an equivalent in western music where it appears as one of the forms of the Hungarian minor mode. It also has a correspondance in Niaventi, one of the modes of greek folk music.
