Raag Des is a very sweet melody that announces itself with the combination D s m G R – G ,N s S. The musical compositions in this Raag bear the Shadja-Pancham (S-P) and Shadja-Madhyam (S-m) Bhava and therefore very pleasing and essentially melodic. The following combinations are illustrative:
R R m G R s; D P n D P s; R’ R’ m’ G’ R’ s; G’ N s S’ s; D s m s P; N N N S’  

Though R m P N S’ is more regularly rendered, one can also eliminate Nishad to give R m P S’; m P S’ s; P N S’ R’ N S’. Also one may adopt N S’ P; P m G R G; ,N s S in place of usual D s m G R; G ,N s
