really there are treasures left behind by our forefathers and you will never stop being amazed by how much they have done with so little in hand.
oh Yes Nov.... i was very very impressed with many old compositions....esp KVM's & MSV's..... oh my god...those compositions r just too good to ignore.... what tunes & wut arrangments.... :D

dinesh,not just classical, MSV ventured into Jazz, rock n roll and what not. Just to casually mention one example listen to the song rock'n' roll from Pathibhakthi here
http://www.musicindiaonline.com/music/tamil/s/movie_name.5209/music_director.870/
the song switches between classical and rocknroll throughout. Can we say.... freakish? This was in the late 50s.

Yeah, right ! You were the one who rejected my sheet reading abilities when you tested me.
You don't even know who I am, what my BG is. Why talk like a know-all when you don't even know the credentials of the other.
If you think similarity is at the meter level, then you need more friends to point things to you.

Also listen to KVM's songs like "unnai arindhal nee unnai arindhal" (Vettaikaran?) and "Pattu selai kaathaada paruva meni koothaada" and "siriththu siriththu ennai siraiyil ittai" etc.

Please, dont make up stuff. All I said was that I didnt need the sheet.
And YOU were the one who said:
"Well...You can laugh, but that's all you can do...You can take away the fact that MellisayE had a few phrases directly lifted from Bolero. I can send you the sheet if you can read it. Ask our common friend to [quote]play it for you in his keyboard...You'll know."
so you assumed that someone has to play it on the keyboard for me to figure out and wondered about my sheet reading abilities.
And you didnt know my BG. So I should be the one telling you all the above comments :-) Instead,I have to listen to it from you. Funny.
Anyways lets end it here.

and this is the original post:
mellisai from Mr. Romeo is inspired from a classical music piece Bolero (Ravel)...I was playing this classical CD, and when Bolero started, i realized the first 6 bars are copied, and of course, after that the tune takes its own course.
But the main melody (the flute motif, and the beginning of the stanzas) are definitely lifted from Bolero.
so you realized that it was a lift as soon as it started playing. You didnt refer to any scoresheet to verify it. Then why talk about sheets and stuff to others unnecessarily? Understand there are other people who can do the same, that is identify a copy or inspiration, just by listening. They dont need to resort to KBs or scoresheets. Second, you dont have scoresheets of both the songs to compare,only one. So its a meaningless proposition.

I had to refer to sheet because you weren't ready to accept it was a lift. You really don't need any sheet to verify it is a lift...If one disagrees, the only way to prove is to provide the sheet. I will upload the complete piece from my CD if time permits (i had already told this to dinesh when he asked for it. I just don't have the facility/time to do such uploading business from home).
Other folks in the forum can decide how correct or wrong it is. BTW, Bolero is famous for its multiple variants of the single theme.

18th December 2006, 10:00 PM
"If one disagrees, the only way to prove is to provide the sheet.":
Providing sheet for one song alone doesnt serve any purpose. Also since we are comparing the main melody here, its enough if the notes are compared. You dont need a sheet to do that. I know for a fact that the rhythm pattern is different, the scales are differnt and notes are different too. Only the meter for "Mellisaye" is somewhat similiar. Not enough to qualify as a lift. At the most, a subtle inspiration.Even that would be a stretch. and inetk here says the same
http://www.itwofs.com/trivia.html
"I listen to Maurice Ravel's 'Bolero'. And so I did. Surprisingly, I felt there are definite shades of 'Bolero' in the Rahman number - sort of a subtle influence?"
He wonders if it was just a subtle influence. The "shades" he is talking about is probably the meter similiarity for the first 2 words. Personally I dont think there is even much influence, leave alone a lift.

It is nice that NOV brought KVM, GR, and others. All of them were awesome. Dinesh, there is a treasure to be unearthed by young folks like you. Last night Astro Vanavil showed a 5-hour concert called GR mudhal AR varai.
A lot of fantastic songs were sung by very good singers bringing back wonderful memories. Excited, I smsed Manisekaran and we traded sms on the going ons.
One of the songs sang was the classic ellaam inba mayam (originally sang by ML Vasanthakumari and P Leela) by two of Ragavendar's daughters. (Ragavendar is the man who acted in Sindhu Bairavi as the husband of Sindhu's mother.)
Manisekaran sms'ed me: This landmark song proved that carnatic music could grow in cinema. SS Iyer himself saw the film and then went to G Ramanathan to congratulate him.
GR fell upon the feet of SS and obtained his blessings.
That is classic music in cinema and humility of musicians for you!

NOV, hopefully the AR means ARR and not a spelling mistake (with A for I). IIRC, until a few years ago, many experts used to bemoan the death of quality cine music after the IR era. Now for AR to be in that elite group consisting of GR, among others, seems to be somewhat of a turnaround in perceptions. Soon it will be VS varai and after ten years or so, provided Yuvan and Harris keep giving more hits and quality songs, it will be Yuvan varai or Harris varai.
Talking about humility I remember listening to a MSV speech on the occasion of SPB's 50th Birthday. MSV rather cynically said "silarukku sangeetham mattum dhan theriyum, aanal SPB-kku sangeethamum theriyum ingithamum theriyum". Wonder who he was targeting. When his turn came, IR for his part acknowledged MSV's greatness.

unfortunately for some (and fortunately for some yours truly included) most of the songs sung were of the 50/60s era. less than 10 songs were sung of IR, ARR eras. :D
Soon it will be VS varai and after ten years or so, provided Yuvan and Harris keep giving more hits and quality songs, it will be Yuvan varai or Harris varai. nope. all those you have mentioned are of the same era as arr.

Question:
"when we consider the present generation, YSR and HJ immediately come to our mind. Have you listened to their music? Can u rate them?"
Answer:
As far I have listened, there is nothing notable. But just for that I don't want to say that they are not correct. IMO, As a fan they have not attracted me. Generally, irrespective of the composer, there must be an INDIVIDUALITY & SPECIALITY associated with the songs. If we can't predict who composed the music, then how that can be a big thing? All of their songs have same style and they are judged based on the success of their film. It is not based on their INDIVIDUALITY and this is my opinion.
Good song is one that gives joy and kindles our inner emotions. Songs should be complete in their own level. IF it is based on the HERO / HEROINE / CHOROEOGRAPHY etc of that song, then how can we accept it as a good song ? IF the film becomes HIT, the music in that one is marked as a HIT here. IF the film doesn't become a HIT, people tend to forget the songs in the film. HERE - Quality doesn't matter. Only Success is the main thing

Bhradwaj also has nothing good to say about the current crop. I dont understand why we expect our fav MDS also to behave like these neutral hubbers
That aside, I give Yuvan the benefit of doubt in his ability to score carnatic songs. He has done a good job with few raga based songs like "theenda theenda", "churidhaar anindhu vandha sorgame" etc. Even his SinduBairavi based song "en isaiyil ingu kizhakku merkku" from a flop movie "PopKarn" is good. HJ also scored 2 nice classical songs "kumari"[Arabi], "iyengar veetu" [ Naatai] in Anniyan. Film music directors today are adept at applying varyious genre of music successfully. Iam positive about Yuvan

Did you folks see "ThuLLaadha manam thuLLum" pugazh Priyasubramanian singing "vaseegara" in total carnatic style replete with swaram, mridhangam without changing the main melody, only changing the tempo with mridhangam in Jaya TV last Sunday? It could easily pass of as a song from PUChinnappa or MKT era. Just by changing the presentation, a slow , poppish melody like this can be transformed into a carnatic style. Remember how IR asked Yuvan to sing "Chinna kannan azhaikiraan" with drum beats and fast rythms? If that were the case, we would probably never realize the ReethigowLai beauty of that song.

app_engine. Not quite. VS, I believe is much older and he started composing sometime in the late 80s/early 90s with Nila peNNE. Although he is still currently active, he is talking about the younger brigade of MDs I think who are less than 6 years old in the industry. I agree with VS's opinions but I dont as much agree with him being the one saying that and him talking about individuality.
Bharadwaj is a joke. He had vented his vayatherichchal on Rahman directly a couple of times in the past. He said he had 6 films one year as against only 4 from Rahman or something like that :-)
If VS had passed his opinions on the general current trend without naming specific MDs it would have come across differently and not as sour grapes. But he didnt. None of today's MDs (barring Rahman of course) have any individuality. Like I have always said, thats the toughest thing to achieve in TFM. You can even give several hit albums(like Deva did in the 90s) without any individual style, but finding your own style/niche is within the reach of just a talented few.

I think HJ has his own brand of uniqueness, although I am unable to specifically articulate what it is.
inetk, however, is helpful when he writes thus:
BEGIN QUOTE
June pona and Unnale unnale are the soundtrack’s highpoints, for their urban, pleasant pop sound, very unique to HJ.
END QUOTE
Perhaps that is HJ's uniqueness and perhaps that is what attracts the youth to his music now. Harris may not be a connoisseur's delight but he sure knows the pulse of today's youth, IMO.

"urban , pleasant pop sound" doesnt constitute any individuality. YSR has given similar pop songs in several albums. Rahman has done it long back. HJ hasnt brought any unique ideas to the table and his style of presentation is repetitive. YSR has the same problem too,but atleast he has shown a penchant for trying different other things so far(like Pudhupettai, Parudhi Veeran),even if the results are mixed. So he gets an edge there.
And I dont think today's youth have any clear cut favourites. Rahman has his fan base, but for the rest of the fans, its all about the flavor of the month. Survival is heavily dependent on the movie's fate and the picturization, like VS said. When the movie doesnt do that well(Like Thotti jaya or AruL or Arasaatchi) the youth doesnt give the songs a damn.

Come on NOV, VS has had more than just his moments or sparks, over the last 10+ years. BW and KR certainly dont belong in that list or any list for that matter. Barring a couple of albums their work has been uninspiring at best. And currently they are nowhere to be found except for a movie here or there.

I have not lumped all "other" MDs together. There are still many like Srikanth Deva, Joshua Sridar (saw chennai kadhal y'day :P), lala SAR, Mani Sharma, D. Iman, Devi Sri Prasad, Ramesh Vinayagam, Dheena, Vijay Anthony, etc. :lol2:
I can sense your dislike for BW, but I would rate his earlier albums like Parthen Rasithen, Amarkalam, Kadhal Mannan quite high. Even his recent movies like VR MBBS and Ayyaa were not bad. In fact his Saran tie-ins have always given some memorable songs.
As for Karthik Raja, I think he is seriously underrated. That he is terribly shy and a total introvert as compared with YSR doesnt help him personally.
I am absolutely in love with his recent kaadhal vandhadhaalE song from Manathodu Mzhaikkalam.
His earlier albums of DDD, KK, UKP also are worthy.
Anyway, my point is that VS himself is not unique, and his passing such a comment is totally unwarranted.

i dont understant y yuvans music doesnt go commercially well as harris's in recent times.its probably cos of the directors he chooses and lack of proper marketing.
in my opinion yuvan is far far ahead in terms of talent compared to harris.it is the same type of music that harris brings out all the time but still goes on to a hit.harris has not made a single album as good as kadhal kondein,7g,raam,pudhupetai.
and it is hard to digest that music of pudhupetai didn get the recognition what it deserved.yuvan has more fans than harris esp among youth he is an ikon but he has to join big heroes or directors.
well as if VS has scored something like IR or MSV he is commenting on present music trend.his first song recording "mutham thara aetha idam" from "jaihind"was itself a total lift from a punjabi song"ishq mithai"his "athinthom"from chandramukhi was aslo a lift.mentioned these two only cos these r supposed to be his biggest moments his first recording and to score music for rajini.he is still behind yuvan in terms of popularity and talent.let him come up with something like 7g or pp if he can then let him talk about other music directors.just cos he is older to other music directors he is no way considered greater to them.its better he shuts his mouth
