{{Carnatic}} <br />
'''Latangi''' (pronounced latāngi) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 63rd ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''Geetapriya''' or '''Gitapriya''' in the [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref><ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref><br />
<br />
==Structure and Lakshana==<br />
[[Image:Latangi scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Latangi'' scale with ''shadjam'' at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 3rd rāgam in the 11th ''chakra Rudra''. The mnemonic name is ''Rudra-Go''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ri gu mi pa dha nu''.<ref name="ragas" /> Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see [[Swara#Swaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]] for details on below notation and terms):<br />
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R2|G3|M2|P|D1|N3|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D1|P|M2|G3|R2|S|foot=yes}}<br />
(the notes used in this scale are ''chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham, kakali nishadham'')<br />
<br />
As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampoorna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Sarasangi]]'', which is the 27th ''melakarta''.<br />
<br />
== ''Janya'' rāgams ==<br />
''Latangi'' has a few minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Latangi|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for full list of rāgams associated with ''Latangi''.<br />
<br />
== Compositions ==<br />
Here are a few common compositions sung in concerts, set to ''Latangi''.<br />
<br />
*''Diname sudhinamu'' by [[Thyagaraja]]<br />
*''Aparadhamula'' by [[Thyagaraja]]<br />
*''Marivere'' and ''Aparadamulan'' by [[Patnam Subramania Iyer]]<br />
*''Pirava varam tharum'' by [[Papanasam Sivan]]<br />

== Related rāgams ==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
''Latangi's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields 2 other ''melakarta'' rāgams, namely, ''[[Sooryakantam]]'' and ''[[Senavati]]''. ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam. For further details and an illustration refer ''[[Graha bhedam#Sooryakantam|Graha bhedam on Sooryakantam]]''.<br />
