Nice song again Usha. I like the way the tabla is mixed with the synth beats in the pallavi. A very nice innovative touch. The tune is nice as well. Not sure if the song is in pure Mohanam, though there are Mohanam touches. This film has not been released I think. It also has that lovely 'Gaana Kuyile' song.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

I love Raja's rendition of 'Gaana Kuyile'. Without any effort he conjures up the effect he wants. In contrast to that SPB does a lot of 'acting' with his voice.

Lovely song with amazing interludes. After all it was for Venkat Prabhu!!

[Sureshs65]

A very nice song Usha. Superb bass guitar. Can listen to the song multiple times only for the bass work.

As you rightly say, there seems to be more than one raga involved in this. What is your take vel? Though the feeling of Bageshri does exist, as Usha says maybe a Valaji feel, especially in the middle of the charanam. My feeling is that this is probably not a single raga. Anyway, it is a lovely song.

[suvai]

:clap: :clap: :clap:
enaku romba pidicha paatunga usha :-)

[vel]

suresh / usha

theoritically possible...

Bageshree without Pa is Shriranjani. Sriranjani without Ni2 is abhogi. And a madhyama sthaayi play in abhogi (played from Ma to Ma instead of Sa to Sa) will give rise to valaji !

He did a similar musical surgery in nee paadhi naan paadhi kannae in keladi kanmani

He had taken a derivative of charavagam without its Ri1 - this derivative (s g3 m1 p dh2 ni2 sa) is tonic shifted to sriranjani / which sans Ni2 is abhogi - then this abhogi is grahabedham'ed to give valaji...you can hear clear valaji/abhogi/sriranjani/chakravagam pieces in the song.

[tvsankar]

Dear Vel,
Thanks for the response.

Thanks for ur support....

Single raagam ilai dhan..

idhu dhan en feelings...

Usha, this was discussed here and consensus was IR sticks to a particular raagam for most of the songs. Hypothetical % given was around 50-60%. Only some popular songs and songs in which he has tried some grahabEdham or similar techniques deviate. I am positive about this because one of the main things I like about IR songs is there is a continuity in the tune and this raagam based composition approach was cited as a possible reason.
IR has denied he picks a raagam first and starts composing, but his actions/record dont seem to support this :-)

[suvai]

Today pick - unnai naan parkaiyil

Hi nga usha....the link u gave is not working for me...but i am sure yr pick will be a good one ;-)

[Sureshs65]

kiru,

One of the reasons why lot of guys with some carnatic training seem to look up in wonder to Raja's music is that he is able to mix one raga with another but you just cannot see where the change happened or if it has happened at all!!! The continuity and coherency in tune exists, sometimes because of tightly holding to a raga and sometimes even by shifting the raga!!! There is a certain magic in how he does it that I am unable to understand.

Take the case of the song, 'mandiram idhu'. It definitely seems be a case of multiple ragas strung together but the song appears as a whole and not as multiple pieces. And it is not a ragamalika. Raja gets the mood he wants by mixing up ragas.

Other great music directors in the past also have abruptly changed the mood of the song by introducing some 'anya' swaras but it was limited to a phrase or towards the ending of a phrase. Rarely have I heard a song being strung together with multiple ragas. You probably need to understand the swaras and grahabedham to understand what he does. I don't know about them but I can tell that he uses multiple ragas in the same song but the song sounds as if it has a single intended sound.

(To illustrate, not a Raja song, this is Raveendran's Malayalam song, 'thamburu kulir'. Check out this song and the singer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJV4JOU2lz0
As she sings the charanam, 'kaathu pol' there is a distinct shift in the sound, a sort of unexpectedness which is pleasing. This has been done many times in the past. Vidyasagar, who came as a judge in SPB's program, was mentioning about MSV coming up with such exquisite deviations.)

Usha, nice song. For long, I used to ignore this in favour of "kaadhal nilAvE" from the same film. Heard recently and realised that behind the facade of just another rural, simple song, there is so much sophistication packed into it. You have described well. Great post Usha

[kiru]

Usha..thanks for the compliments. I am trying to learn from knowledgable posters here (you, Suresh, etc etc).
Suresh, I agree with you. Maybe IR sees commonalities between raagams and this is his way of showcasing it to others. He probably sees commonalities between Indian and Western music as well. (Damn..the malayalam MDs do know to compose Indian music very well !!) Still, what is the percentage of songs which are set in a single raagam vs multiple raagam ? I'd guess the single raagam's are the most.

[kiru]

Usha, nice song. For long, I used to ignore this in favour of "kaadhal nilAvE" from the same film. Heard recently and realised that behind the facade of just another rural, simple song, there is so much sophistication packed into it. You have described well. Great post Usha

Exactly..the way Usha is wont to describing the songs recently (maybe I am noticing it only now) ..from start to finish ..including the preludes and interludes is exactly the way IRs songs are supposed to be enjoyed. I dont think IR differentiates the vocal parts from the instrument parts ie. prelude transitions smoothly to pallavi to interlude to charanam etc My theory is he is building it like a WCM composition and just uses voices because the market wants to hear the lyrics. Many songs can probably be ported to a "symphony" or "concerto" if you replace the vocal with violins.
In other words lot of effort goes into composing the interlude to be the part of a whole and if people ignore it (which I think most lay people do) a good % of IRs efforts go un-appreciated. Amazing that the man does so many things whether people really notice them or not. He probably has his own standards and enjoys meeting/beating them probably .

[Sureshs65]

kiru,

Very well said about IR's compositions. I remember reading a post of Violin Vicky in his blog regarding Raja's usage of bass and he concludes very well.

Here is what Violin Vicky says and I am sure all of us will agree with his assessment. "The point is, many tamil music listeners doesn't even know something called bass guitar exist. Still why is he composing such superb bass tracks song after song. It's the same way that god has created so many beautiful landscapes, animals, plants and flowers in this universe which most of us are unaware of. Why did he create so many things that go unnoticed?

The answer I think is, that's the joy of creation..."
(http://www.geocities.com/violinvicky/BossOfBass.html)

[Sureshs65]

kiru,

True about single ragam vs multiple ragas. The percentage of single ragas would be higher but if you consider the ratio of single to multiple ragas, it will probably be the highest amongst all composers.

[Sureshs65]

Thanks for the song Usha. Nice opening with just the guitars for percussion. Nice writeup as well. I haven't heard this song earlier so another thanks for introducing this song to me.

[tscii:0bb1e25201]Standing ovation to Dilip Kumar for uploading this video on Youtube...I requested him to combine important scenes of Payanangal Mudivathillai and post it and he has done it as per my request...Compliments Dilip!

the start has a lovely Flute, Acoustic Guitar, bass guitar music in a major scale...

Following this, a humor filled music with some violin string plucking, solo violins and a rhythm which might be from Congo...

at 00:28, the extension of the humor with Keyboards and Bass guitars...

00:58, Ilaya Nila theme with sweet guitar strums and flute with a nice finisher at 01:25 and 01:26...

01:38 onwards, soothing Classical Guitar ARPEGGIO(broken chord) alongside male humming!

02:00, the big one!!! The Ilaya Nila Bassline and accompaniment....Arpeggio in electric rhythm Guitar(Phaser enabled)...There sure is a Bass guitar too but very minimal...02:33 the Bass strings heard and end of line with Crash Cymbal..

02:36, the IlayaNila accompaniment chromatic notes which must be played on one of the Yamaha series of keyboards...the electric rhythm guitar(Phaser enabled) with the palm muted techique! superb!! Ending with the well known Classical guitar lead...

03:15, the Brass blows with good Bass and Crash cymbal tapping...

03:35, the humming which I think is in Hamsanandhi as per Carnatic...

03:52, Classical style of violins...

04:08, the Electric rhythm guitar(or could it be an ovation guitar) with a Classical Guitar accompanying in Arpeggio...also present Keyboard as bass(this keyboard Bass is heard in several early 80's songs of Raaja sir...very distinctly identifiable keyboard Bass)...

R.V.Krishnan
Payanangal Mudivathillai - Music and music only !
What follows is a supposedly Hamsanandhi humming…

05:09, SUPERB Phaser electric guitar lead with palm muting and awesome use of Phaser to give that drag sound of the guitar output….Bass guitar playing parallely in a good sequence…Muted trumpet heard..

05:22, when Maestro’s group photo appears, lovely trumpets, keyboards supported by partial WahWah effects Bass guitar(or maybe electric guitar) …here the keyboard and electric guitar are difficult to distinguish…very neatly played!

REWIND to 05:22 and concentrate only on Bass...I could hear a Bass guitar playing Parallel Bass…

05:45, a melancholy tune when Mohan leaves…excellent harmony layer in violins…

06:18, for the male humming, I cant identify if the accompanying pluck sound is from Guitar or keyboard! But it sounds like string plucking of the dry signal...How do they play this? Is it plucked close to the bridge? Anyways, it sounds great and so does the pattern Bass (Guitar) sequence..I love the finisher at 06:40…

06:47, nice Phaser for female hum…

07:01, keyboards, Bass guitar and neat drumming for the romantic BGM in minor scale..Similarly, nice finisher at 07:15…

Music is gotta be like this!! So much of stuff in the BGM’s !!

Payanangal Mudivathillai is a lotus in a pond, where the pond is the music and the lotus is the story…but for the pond, the lotus is lifeless !!!

pro-Raaja... [/tscii:0bb1e25201]

[kiru]

யார் இந்த கிருஷ்ணனோ அவருக்கு என்னுடைய நன்றிகள், நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள்..
It should be clear from the comments that the gentleman knows to play the guitar and other instruments..A percentage of IRs fanbase seems to come from these sort of people - people not just with raaga or WCM knowledge but also "hands-on" music lovers/musicians. Even though film music ( by IR) may not have full-fledged/rigorous playing of an instrument..it looks to me you do get a satisfaction/joy of playing an instrument well (or for that matter singing as well) like the way IR has used in a composition. Music is not just meant for the ears ..it is also meant for our hands/body to play it if we can and derive a satisfaction that human beings get in displaying grace when the mind is able to coordinate the body to achieve an elegant outcome...(sadly I do not play an instrument and the only keyboard I know is called QWERTY :-) )

(Usha..thanks for the compliment..it is my turn to say it is too much :-) )

[Sureshs65]

kiru,

What you say is true. There seem to lot of instrumentalist who love Raja's music it offers to them. Starting from Guitar Prasanna himself. Krishnan posts in the Ilayaraja Yahoo groups often and the other person who is also an instrumentalist and who maintains a very good blog about Raja's music is violin Vicky. Raja's music touches everyone from the novice to people with some knowledge to the instrument players.

I know about two keyboards: the QWERTY one and the ABCD one (which my cell phone has :)

Speaking for Suresh & myself, at one point of time IR was too prolific, churning out too many good ones like a deluge and very few could have kept up with the pace (especially for unknown movies, some even unreleased).

This morning I wrote about 'ஓ எந்தன் வாழ்விலே ஒரு பொன்விழா' (உனக்காகவே வாழ்கிறேன்) - don't remember hearing this in the 80's and the song still sounds fresh.

One'll keep unearthing some IR song or other all the time, IMO :-)

[baroque]

True indeed!
படிக்கும் போது, என்ன இவர் இப்படி சொல்றார் or by mistake typed listening instead of watching visual ...அப்படின்னு தோணும் :D
I always thought you guys (You, Suresh etc..)are thorough Ilayaraja fans, reading/talking about him, he says/she says of old & current news, his stories, analyzing his compositional style, intricacies of orchestration in different stages of his musical journey etc... :)

good , we enjoy more time listening Ilayaraaja's sangeetham.

vinatha. :)

[Sureshs65]

Vinatha,

While what app_eng says about the prodigious output of Raja is correct, my problem is compounded by the fact that I was in Hyd during the 80s and hence could hear the songs only on radio. Those days they used to play only the more popular songs. Not having a tape recorder didn't help either. So while I am ok with songs that happened in the last few years, lot of 80s songs have passed me by. Ofcourse, that now gives me the joy of discovery :D

Again, surprisingly, I have this song which Usha has mentioned. The same CD you referred to is what I bought and I have listened to this song. A nice song indeed.

[Sureshs65]

Vinatha,

That brings me to the next point. If a guy like me who has not heard a lot of Raja songs is a big fan of his, imagine how much more attached to Raja would be those who have heard lot more of his output!!! :)

[baroque]

I thought about two things about you that day I read your post on oru kunguma chengamalam... :)

may be out of TN state guy
or
in upper 20s or younger like my niece who is a ilayaraaja fan , not aware of his earlier albums. (I share with her as much as i can)

and then, one day somewhere I think I read a post by you - you used to argue for MSV, couldn't accept/recognize Shri.IR in his initial days or some thing like that...(நீங்கதான்ன்னு நினைக்கிறேன் , i may be wrong also! :P ) confused me.

anyway..
you are here now, enjoy the musical bliss!

Vinatha. :D

[tvsankar]

vinatha,
welcome to the thread.

Strong foundation anavanga neenga - inga.
adhukaga - ipadi - indha thread la

vaiyai pidunganama......

[Sureshs65]

Vinatha,

Your first guess is right, me being an out of TN guy. And yes, I was the one who stated about MSV. You are right.

[baroque]

Suresh :) enjoy....
Usha,
thanks for the welcome note, though I don't visit the thread regularly, drop by very rarely, I am not a new person here.
வாயை பிடுங்கறது... etc.. I don't do , I am not good at it.
I am a novice too, thanks for the compliment .:)
Continue your songs! :)
Vinatha.

Today pick - Varna virundhavanm

Singer - Our Beloved IR

Film - kaliyoonjal



Indha paatai enaku kodutha en Orkut Nanban Chandra Sekar ku

ennudaiya Nanri........


Wat a waiting.. for this song...

Wat a song - from our IR....

Normally, IR doesnt give much value for the orchestration
to His version of the songs.

His voice only Dominates the composition. Its the
real need for that song indeed...

But this song - Varna virndhavanam has some
changes....

1. Orchestration has valued.. So wat.

IR is the Dominating factor in this song also...

Wat a friendly singing....

Varana vrundhavanam
ennu undagumo

cute Guitar starts its job....

IR's song - each one has each feature...

This song - pulls me..

could not follow IR's voice...

Could not foloow the orchestration...

But am going ..... going ... going.. into this song...

Song ended so quickly. Its a small song..

this type of feelings came to my mind..

(seekiram mudinju pochae gara madhiri oru kurai....

nejathil apadi ilai. big song dhan...)

This song is also a music journey....

About the journey...

Cool evening climate.. little bit drizzling.

Like ooty.......

Walking with our beloved Heart...

Without the Disturbance of Cellphone....

This type walking journey - am getting from this song...

Orchestration....

Friendly Guitar leads IR.. hahahhaa...
IR is the creator... So wat.. Guitar is Guitar.
IR surrendered to his Guitar Sounds......

IR's love is With this Guitar only... ahhaaaha.....

na na na nana nana

in this place. you could feel the love of IR with this
Guitar Works....

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

I have downloaded 'varNa vRindAvanam'. Yet to listen to it. Pazhassiraja has upset all my plans :)

[Sureshs65]

Finally got to 'varNa vRindAvanam' after tearing myself from 'Pazhassiraja'. It has been a long time since I heard the IR version. I do hear Chitra's version often.

It is in Malayalam that Raja has probably demonstrated the best combination of synth and his typical melody. This is one song in that list along with 'shAradEndu pADi', 'manjUlum rAtri', 'sivamallipoovE' etc. The way the keyboards provide the required urgency to this soft song is superb. Added to it is the singing of Raja. There is a certain charm in Raja singing Malayalam. You can probably make out that he is not a native Mallu but his pronunciation seems to be good and has a charm of its own. (This is in the opposite direction of the stylishness induced by people like Udit Narayan. Raja strives to get the pronunciation right.)

[rajkumarc]

Thanks a lot Usha for the IR version of this song. I'm listening to it for the first time. A beautiful song and I love IR's singing which is very different from what I heard before.

2nd interlude -

Violins told the serious mood.

Wat a types of violins..... This is our IR...

POn vandu - its a insect with a beautiful color.
(two colors i have seen. ONe is bottle green and another one is carrot color.very nice to see their shining..)


My schoolmates used to have this as "pet", keeping it tied with a twine, feeding it tamarine leaves etc. Fascinating to watch and its egg was even more fascinating to see :-)

I always wanted to have one but was strictly forbidden at home - cruelty to keep them like that it seems :-(

[Plum]

Usha, wonderful write-up. Write-upnu asolradhai vida expression o feelingsnu dhaan sollanum.
Andha precise emotion-ai epdi tuneilum orchestrationilum kondu vandharo? Genius.

Amma paattu ella mdyum poottiruppaargal. Namma situationai poruthu andha paadalgal namakku personal resonance irukkum.But even without the benefit of that personal experience, for a 17 year old to feel that negizchi, only raja fossible.the yearning, the relief, the joy at the newborn ellaam minute detailsla varum - just in the music.

And as I said, probably mano's best ever.

Today pick - En aasai vaazhai kuruthae

Singers - K S Chitra and MVD

Film - Kattalai



About the Orchestration

Felt the 85s Raaja's style...(Raaja - IR - indha perai
ezhudhi neraiya naal achu. Really am moved with this name in this birth.)

Instrumetation told about some serious happenings...

Prelude

Violins speaks about the mood....(Arrival of the villan???)

But the

Beat - gives some cool situation..(Dont worry gara madhiri)

MVD 's singing - I like HIs style in IR's music.. He had some special type of songs in our Raaja's compositions.

1st interlude

Violins did not stop to tell about the serious situations.

but some other instruments to give the normal mood.

Adamant violins did their job....

MVD's pitch - He handled with so easily.

KSC's style - Always in a expressive manner...

Its Her Speciality...

2nd interlude

Guitar expressess... speaks..... in HIS compositions..

but this time it did some other job...

try to protect to someone from a danger.....
Violin expresses the seriousness.....
santhoor - ???? - gives the cool effect. but its not true....
Violin warns the singers about the danger........

Isai - pesum...

INSTRUMENTS PESUMA ......... PESUM - IN OUR IR'S COMPOSITION......

All the instruments speak a lot to me.......
(dono about the scene and the film.. but i could feel
the danger to the singers...)

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

Thanks for this superb song. Never heard this before.

I love the beats in the song, the way they are used to maintain the tense throughout. The pallavi as well as charanam has superbly controlled beats which communicate the tension. The violins which come in almost asynchronously in the first interlude and the rhythm instruments that keep appearing in the charanam. Excellent stuff. (BTW, can someone tell me the name of the instrument which has beads all over and the player just keeps rotating it?)

The song seems to be based on one of Raja's favorite ragas, Mayamalavagowla. I am happy I have discovered this gem now.

[raagas]

I dont need to write anything further. Suresh wrote exactly what i wanted to. Verbatim. Thanks a lot for showing us this gem.

Nice song. I loved it when the CD came out and this was the only song from the movie that I liked!!

The female singer is Manjari. She has sung quite a few Mayamalavagowla and its cousin for Raja that she must now be quite a master of it :) This song, Oru Chiri Kandal, Kadapurathoru Kadapurathoru Kalyanam come to mind.

[rajkumarc]

Thanks Usha for Maalai Nila. I'm listening to it after a while. The lovely guitar prelude, the humming by IR are an instant attraction that pulled me in to the song. IR duets are always pleasant.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

I fully concur with you that 'aaraariro' evokes the feeling of sadness and loss and does a very effective job of it. So effective that I try not to listen to it!!! The words, the music, everything leaves a lasting impact.

[krish244]

One big question! How are you guys able to listen on thiraipaadal.com site. Of late, when i try to listen to songs on thiraipaadal site, it says "we are currently working on song files". Even the above song does not play.

thanks,

Krishnan

[Sureshs65]

Krish,

That used to be a problem a few days back. It works well now. I have been listening to songs on thirapaadal all day today.

Nice song Usha Sankar. One of the few palatable Hariharan songs for me (mIttAdha oru vINai is another)
The song takes off to another plane when IR recites that sloka. Enna oru goose pimple!

[priya32]

Ushaji,

Nice song, Hariharan paadina enakku pidiththa paadalgaLil idhuvum onRu!

'aayiram kOdi nilavugaL kUdi' - karisalkAttu pUvE is a nice one along with 'mIttAtha oru vINai' - pUnthOttam!

[app_engine]

digression -

KaLanjyam, the director of poonthOttam which had such lovely songs and who also had a few other worthy projects with IR, is being sought by police in some fraud case it seems. I read in a news that he is absconding as he was a co-producer / director in a venture where they got money from public / banks and walked off

end-digression

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

The movie is 'Nilave Mugam Kaatu' isn't it? I think by mistake you have written it as 'Poonthotam'.

I haven't heard this song earlier. The slokam at the end is very nice as well as the orchestration for it. It gets cut abruptly as you say. Must find the original and listen to it.

[jaiganes]

Kalanjiyam directed the following movies which had good music by IR

Poomani (murali, Devayani, Prakash raj - had 'en paattu en paattu')
Poonthoattam (murali and devayani again - had 'meettaadha oru veenai)
Kizhakkum merkum (nasser, Napolean, Devayani)

Nice song, Usha chEchi.

On some occasions, the remake of the song was possibly because the movie itself was a remake from another language where IR did the original.

A number of his malayALam movies were also remade into Thamizh and some of the songs got the same melody. Sometimes not the same movie but the same director or producer. I've heard the Thamizh version of 'Olaththumbaththu' on bus journeys but don't know whether it was in a remake / dub of pappayude swantham appoos.

There are also major changes as in the case of Friends, I loved sivamallippoovE (IMO = ninnukkOri, i.e. in appeal) & kadal kAtRil in the original. These were not repeated in Thamizh.

[Plum]

Pappayude was dubbed into tamil as poove pon poove (I think)
Shivamalli got replaced by manjal poosum, though for a different situation

[jaiganes]

aahhh that movie has that awesome song 'Snehaththin poonjolai' - the magic begins with Mammootty walking out of the hospital with the kid in hand and the music that begins is one of the best.... heartwrenching stuff..

Malar thoppinil is so unlike ir. It is raja but sounds very much like a typical mallu somg of 80s of other composers.

Usha, apdi illai. I meant it as a compliment - it has trademak raja orchest. But the style of the song is typical of the period in mallu movies.

[Sureshs65]

'malar thoppinil' is a very nice song indeed. As Plum says a very Rajaish song sounding very traditional Malayalam film song. This movie also has the lovely 'arike arike' by Jesudas.

Wasn't 'poovadigalil' from Vyamoham?

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

I will get you these songs soon.

S.Suresh

[Saagar]

Icidentally, for Kallukondoru pennu & Dooram Arike, lyrics are by ONV.

Dooram Arike songs:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/5428792/5043f05d/ONV_Kurup_hits.html

Poovadigalil is from Vyamoham - It's IR's first film / song in malayalam. (The film for which he actually composed first was never released).

[Saagar]

IR's first Malayalam film (unreleased) is Aaru manikkor , directed by Mohan of Annakkili fame. The song Oru Naal Ullasa thirunaal in the film is the same as Oru naal unnodu oru naal from Uravadum nenjam (by the same director - who has also done Kavikuyil,Chittukuruvi,Rosappoo Ravikkaikari etc in Tamil & Aalolam, Mangalam Nerunnu etc.).

[baroque]

Dooram Arike is a Vintage Wine. :swinghead:
It has stunning songs.
chorus, funky guitar strumming Ir's lilting tune with violin & Xylophone interlude
Malarthoppithil kili konchalaay
Mani thennalaay vaa .......yesudas
Harmonious orchestration. :musicsmile:
GOOD OLD 80s ILAYARAAJA!
soothing Maankidaave......Jayachandran solo is a Tabala Raaja finesse!Magical violin, relaxed flute orchestration.
oh.. I must treat myself today! :musicsmile:
Vinatha.

[Plum]

Thanks everyone for clarifying on Dooram Arike vs Vyamoham.

Vyamoham = remake of Policekaaran MagaL?, because IR said his first Malayalam movie was remake of PM

[Sureshs65]

Plum,

Yes. Vyamoham is a remake of 'Policekaran Magal'. In one interview Raja says that he was apprehensive of tuning for this movie since Vishwanathan Ramamoorthy had given excellent tunes in Tamil. Raja uses the same Kalyani ragam for 'poovadigalil' which MSV-TR used for 'indha manrathil odi varum' song. Ofcourse each one is a totally different tune but the raga used is the same. Both of them excellent melodies.

Talking of Kalyani, MSV also has an excellent Kalyani based Malayalam song in the movie 'Chandrakantham', "aa nimishanthinthe nirvrithiyil".

Bobbili Raja

[Sureshs65]

Hi Usha,

Haven't been to the link but from your description looks like this is the Telugu version of the hit song "Kanyakumari Kanapadadha Daari" from 'Bobbili Raja' starring Venkatesh and Divya Bharathi. This movie was a major hit with the songs playing their part in the popularity. The other widely popular song from this movie was 'balpam patti baama odilo'. I still remember my office manager getting so enamored by these songs that he used to rewind the tape using a ball point pen since batteries were in short supply during a picnic trip. (He was as much in love with Divya Bharathi as he was with the songs :lol: )

[raagas]

Hi Usha,
I still remember my office manager getting so enamored by these songs that he used to rewind the tape using a ball point pen since batteries were in short supply during a picnic trip. (He was as much in love with Divya Bharathi as he was with the songs :lol: )

:) I can figure out which part of the film made him fall in love :) Eventually, that became the USP of the film :)

[Sureshs65]

raagas,

You got it right :lol: Anyway Divya Bharathi was a major hit those with one film with Mohan Babu and another with Balakrishna also running to full houses. she was at her glamorous best in Telugu films. Unfortunately died young, when she was getting a foothold in Hindi films.

[raagas]

Suresh,

now that we are discussing Divya Bharathi and her glamorous best ;), let us justify our digression (before people call it as digression..), by bringing back the IR element. Divya Bharathi's last film was "Tholi Muddhu", for which IR composed music.

But songs were not that great or worth that everlasting type. Yet, there was one song "Vannelaadi", which had lot of jazz piano and stuff. it has that rock and roll kind of arrangements. lot of hangover from "Rum Bum Bum" work.

[Plum]

digression-deleted-fearing-Usha-Sankar's-wrath :-)

[Sureshs65]

raagas,

Yup. 'tholi muddu' was her last film but the hero looked so awful that we neither saw the movie nor heard the songs!! Will listen to the one you mentioned soon. (Digression to digression: Was 'tholi muddu' remade in Hindi and was it the first movie of Karishma Kapoor? Not that my head will break if don't know the answer. Just curious.)

Usha Akka, consider this post deleted :)

[Plum]

Usha, indha oru dhadavai mannichudunga - I want to respond to Suresh :-)

No, That karisma movie was Prem Qaidi with Harish, another Prashanth type 'hero', and the remake was of a kannada/telugu movie starring Malasree and Harish himself - prema qaidi possibly

Plum,

Thanks for the correction. Your memory is better than mine. I was indeed thinking of 'Prem Qaidi' and Harish, who was atrocious. Now I vaguely remember 'toli muddu'. Harish and Malasree !!! As they advertised for the 'Blue Brothers', the most explosive combination since Nitro and Glycerine!!

Atlast a response from me without any reference to Divya Bharathi :D

I have heard 'tholmele' from this movie but not this song. Very energetic song and as usual Raja maintains the energy throughout. I thought Chitra did a lovely job here. Also Mano. The chorus also adds well to the overall energy.

Usha,

Nice pick, this song. Have not heard this song earlier. Sounds very nice. A very soothing tune.

[rajkumarc]

Mutrathu Mada Pura is a beautiful song Usha. Hearing it after a long time. Thathi Thathi Thaavidum is another lovely number from the same movie.

[raagas]

Usha,

Awesome pick. the song has such a peaceful ambience despite that rhythm. Nice chords. The mild string section that plays along with the singer (but in little different tune), during charanams is damn impressive. I never knew about this song. Beautiful

I guess what Plum means is his headphones are still under repair and the only way he listens to songs is by playing them in his mind!!

[kiru]

Actually ippo indiala illa - briefly caught up in a us trip and heavy workload so no headphone is the situation rather than faulty headphone.

However, it is true that even if IR doesn't give 1 more song, I have enough of his music in my mind to fill my life.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

I remember getting to this song following some links while seeing Raja's Malayalam songs on youtube. It was around 3am when I saw this and it hit me hard. I was wondering how I ever missed this song!! Outstanding tune and a wonderful job done by Krishnachander.

[Plum]

Usha, romba thanks for the gesture and the actual song. Infact, innikku romance series aachu and I was mulling another series of posts on parent-child feelings - I mean not in the "amma endrazhaiiakda" senti sense but the melliya negizhvu feeling.
I have a few songs in mind but this was not one of them - a timely pick. Lovely, lovely song. In many songs of raja, speed is of essence - as in, a lot of matter packed into the tune and orch and the "movement"s are very fast like a river in spate. Think of even melodies like kuzhaloodhum and you'll find that speed factor. This is one of the Raja songs where the tune flows unhurriedly like a gentle stream. I love the way the first word of the pallavi spans a few seconds and phrases.Great song.

[Shank]

This song completely escaped me when it released...it's from Maya Bazaar (1995). It's just amazing that Raja has experimented in this fashion. I can't recall another song that he has done in this way.This is the kind of stuff that Raja has accomplished...which many might not know.

I searched all over for the song and came up with this link...it has a good quality version to play..check it out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-EMl0QawPQ&feature=related

thanks Ushaji!!

It is a special song - with the same raga base as 'thaazham poove' from kai kodukkum kai (Rajini and Revathi). Andha raagathulaye oru melliya sogam kalandha azhagu irukku. Adhai konjamum disturb pannaamal tharuvadhu dhaan raajavin thani kalai.
andha santoor varudhe,, adhu varum bodhu evvalo sandhosham, ethanai freshness in mind?
another thing that makes this song very accessible to thamizh guys is the use of chaste thamizh words like then mozhiyo and thengiLaneero - indha vaarthayellaam thamizhlaye ippo tholanju pochu.

and offcourse very poignant references to a young girl, the maha shakthi in her most human form. it is a wonderful song and I will certainly play it for my kutti ponnu. Thanks once again.

BTW this guy krishnachandar is a blessed person - his voice is so very soothing and his rendition is PERFECT... God bless him...

ps: Is this madhyamavathi? somehow i end up in aakasamlo and enge nee sendraalum(kannukkulle) when i start singing it...

[app_engine]

Thank you Usha chEchi, for the nice song:-)

[rajkumarc]

A lovely song Usha. Have never heard this before and it takes my breath away. I love the unhurried pace and flow of the song as Plum mentioned earlier.

Can relate to it more because I have a daughter.
I will add it to my kiddo's thalattu playlist. Thanks for the song.

Happy new year everyone.

It is indeed Madhyamavathi.

[jaiganes]

Jai,

It is indeed Madhyamavathi.

[jaiganes]

I showed the song to my daughter who asked me to repeat atleast 7 times. first time it was for baby shalini whom she calls by 'her' name.
Then it was nedumudi venu's antics which she recognizes clearly as the ones I do when I play with her.
And then the music - by the end of 6th time she starts humming and then I know how simple the song is to really hum - this nature is very common among all classic lullabies, Right from Brahm's lullaby to namma oor thaalaatus. There is no unnecessary 'flurry' of notes in the composition...

Usha,

I guess I did not express myself correctly. I saw this song in youtube about a year or so back. I had missed it till then!!

This song, by the way, was also sung quite well by the guy who won the Malayalam Idea Star Singer contest last year. (I think Vivekanand was his name.) All the judges were in full praise of the tune and of Krishnachandar's singing.

There are atleast a dozen Raja songs in Malayalam for which I will give up any other film song. This belongs to that category.

[Sureshs65]

Jai,

Nice observation about lullabies. In fact not only the tune but the orchestration is also done keeping this fact in mind. The orchestration is very touching but very simple as well (Simple when executed but not simple to conceive.) In the youtube link I had given, you can hear G Venugopal, the singer and judge, talk about Raja's 'controlled orchestration' for this song. (Sarath, another talks about 'edho moham' and its outstanding orchestration.) Infact in another program, the ETV Paadutha Theeyaga, when K Vishwanath came as the judge he also drew attention to the orchestration done by Raja for another of his gems, 'vatapatra saayiki' from Swathi Muthyam. He was saying that Raja had kept constant beat going throughout the song which gave a very good mood to the song. Infact in 'alliyilam poovo' also the mridangam beat follows the song constantly.
