Even after having lived over 50 years, I am mesmerized by a sunrise. Be it summer or winter, there is a transformation before one's eyes however changes start well before the yellow star appears at the horizon. Birds begin chirping. Squirrels start scampering around. Early risers head out to work or to run. The slumber has ended.
A Raga in Indian Music is technically defined as a set of notes with particular ascent and descent patterns, however it is much more than just notes. A raga is a mood. It is a a pattern. It is a melody.
Raga Vibhas gives out vibes of morning and freshness. It exudes the brightness of the sunlight as it fills the sky. In it we see the waves of energy rise and fall. It is yellows, creams and beiges and other sky colors in its spectrum. The complex mix of red and blue - violet - peaks through reflecting a momentary sky color at dawn.
