Raag Description: Raag Gaud Sarang, though a daytime melody produces effect like the night melodies. The overall impact of the Raag is identical to that in Raag Kedar or Raag Bihag. (Both night time Raagas). The combination of G R m G P R S is considered Raag-Vachak i.e. characteristics of the melody.
Shuddha Madhyam is a prominent note which is Deergh Swar but not a resting note. Pancham and Gandhar are the resting note of the Raag. Like in Raag Kedar and Raag Hameer the Teevra Madhyam (M) is rendered Vakra as shown here:
S' N D P ; M P D P ; M P ; M P G m ; R G R ; m G ; P M D P M P D P ; M P G m ; R G R ; m G ; P R S;
In Aaroh, alternative to M P D N S' one can proceed like ,N S G m P N S' with Shuddha Madhyam (m) as in Raag Bihag. The nature of this Raag is very complex but for rendering fast Taans particularly in Avroh, the Raag Vachak phrase (G R m G P R S) can be omitted and S' N D P m G R S or S' D P m G m R S may be taken. This Raag is full of Shringar Ras. Following are the illustrative combinations of the Raag:
S G R m G P R S ; G R m G ; P N D N D P m G ; G m P N S' ; S' ; D P m G ; M P M P ; G R m G ; P D P P ; S' R' S' S' ; S' N D P m G ; R G R m G ; P R S ;
