[Sureshs65]

The Sree Kanakamahalakshmi Dance Troup song is a nice one. The movie also showcases Vamsi's grip on comedy, the local dialect and the comic set pieces that Vamsi designed. The whole comedy in this movie is based on dialogs and all the support actors excel in this regard, Kota, Mallikarjuna Rao, Tanikella Bharani and last but not the least, Nirmala. What is amazing is Vamsi's ability to generate comedy out of very mundane situations. The set piece wherein Kota comes to convince Nirmala is a top class one.

This movie also has another lovely song based on the raga Chakravakam.

[tvsankar]

"Ninnu CHoosina" - a perfect melody from a 1996 K.Vishwanath telugu film - IR never fails to give such numbers for KV - the use of the solo violin in the 1st interlude and the parts in the charanams when SPB takes off in the sweetest parts of the melody listen to the violin providing the cushioning effect, adorning the melody even further - all of this beg for repeated listens!

[tvsankar]

Dear iri123,
Thanks for the song. This link has
nice collection of IR.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

As you say, a very nice MMG. Lovely melody. There seems to be no limit to what Raja can do with MMG. The more famous song from this movie was 'Subhalekha Rasukunna'.

irir123,

Anbu malargalin. Never heard this song before. A typical 80s melody of Illayaraja. Lovely flute and bass guitar. A very nice song.

[Plum]

Anbu Malargalin - Nice song. Style is similar to mandhir apunnagaiyo

[Shakthiprabha.]

Usha,

"anbu malargaLin solai idhu". IR sits majestically and as plum said "mandhira punnagaiyo.... " may be the same raaga !

Heard it for the first time, and it stamps beautifully in my heart. I loved it. thankyou.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

'Unnai Thedi Thedi' is a real nice number. I haven't heard this earlier. It is very difficult to fix the raga of this song. Starts off as Mohanam but by the time the first line ends the ragam has changed. My feeling is that Raja was doing some scale changes here. The charanam has the Mohanam feel but whenever he ends the scale changes. Someone more knowledgeable may enlighten us on what technique is used here.

[krish244]

Sometime back in this forum, someone described
this song (Unnai thedi) to be in pahadi. When I first heard this song, I was stunned by the freshness in the tune.

thiraipaadal.com also lists this song in pahadi raagam page. Looks like IR has composed many more in this raagam.

thanks,

Krishnan

[Sureshs65]

Krish,

It could be Pahadi. I sometimes confuse it with Mohanam. Even if it is Pahadi, I feel there is a change in the end of first line to some other ragam. Overall a very nice song.

[Plum]

Pudhu Kaveri - nice song, decent album. Deivangal Kan paarhtadhu is a rare Mano song that I can hear fully without forwarding...

[suvai]

Usha nga!!

[krish244]

Usha, I really do not know anything about carnatic raagams. As Suresh was curious to know the scale, I just quoted what others have mentioned in the forum. There are only a few raagams (like hamsanandam, chakravagam, etc) that I can feel the essence, otherwise I am nil. But I sincerely want to learn though.

When a song strikes me with its freshness, i really get curious to know its raagam. So was the case with "Unnai Thedi" song.

BTW, have you guys listened to "Kooda Varuviya" song from the latest "Valmiki" album? Give it a try. Not sure if its available online. New albums section has links to mp3.

thanks,

Krishnan

[tvsankar]

[Sureshs65]

Aaah. A song I have heard earlier. Not sure where I heard it though. Must be in some Chitra compilation. Lovely song.

As Usha says, the Madhyamavathi / Brindavana Saranga songs are very melodious. I don't recall the song offhand but there is another such song by P Susheela, which is about a mother singing, and that is based on Brindavana Saranga. Maybe these ragas bring out the Karunya rasam better.

[suvai]

Dear suvai,

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

'Endaro Mahanubavulu' is also nice. Raja seems to take the Tyagaraja keertana and then modifies it. I am not sure if the whole song is in Sriragam though.

[tvsankar]

http://www.thiraipaadal.com/albums/ALBIRR00265.html

[Sureshs65]

Hi Usha,

'vanjikodi' is a nice song. Never heard this before. A very nice melody. Reminds me of melodies like 'Kaadal Vaanile'. The first interlude is very nice.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

A side effect of your posting is that not only do we get to hear the song posted by you but we also check out the other songs in the movie. I find that most of the songs in this movie 'Kanna Unnai Tedugiren' are quite nice. All of them are melodious, though they are synth driven. 'Koyil Mani Kaettene' is very nice. I haven't heard either about this movie nor about the songs.

[tvsankar]

Suresh,

Thanks for the Great response suresh.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

The female voice is Bela, Bela Shinde, the one who has sung the song in Valmiki (Kooda Varuviya). She has sung most of the songs in Nannavanu. The guy sounds very 'Rajkumar'ish.

Your selection is superb. I too love this song and listen to it atleast once. I am not sure if this is pure Madhyamavathi. It has some shades of Suddha Dhanyasi as well. Posting on this song earlier, vel had said that Raja has probably used more than one scale. All said and done, a lovely song.

Usha, thanks much for pointing to "Mazhalai" song from Sethupathi IPS. Hearing for the first time. Nice tune with some great WCM orchestrations, especially the variations and the flow that strings section produces from 1:38 is amazing. Even the second interlude is good. Good WCM stuff.

Nice pick, Usha Sankar. Maharishi is one explosive Telugu album, with Sumam Prathi Sumam being the pick.

[Shakthiprabha]

rocking :thumbsup: music is beyond language. IR makes it possible.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

Lovely song from Maharishi.

I have already written in glowing terms about the Vamsi Raja combination. Songs in films like Maharishi, Alapana, Sitara, Anveshana are something to die for. As Plum said, 'Sumam Prati Sumam Sumam' is outstanding. Coincidentally been listening to Alapana and Maharishi very recently. Once I put some of Raja's Telugu songs in my car, it becomes very difficult to change the tape :)

[suvai]

usha nga!!
That was a very nice song....& IR's music is just so uplifting....:-)

Usha, thanks for hosting Sumam Prathi sumam. Tune-la irukku magic. Start to finish, there are only high-points. Janaki's humming before second stanza, you think this is the high point of the song, and then in the stanza, the cute stiletto "venuva veedhiya eviti aashalu", you think the tune cannot get better; then you get "aa veLa naalo, ee gola..."; you think there thats, well, for want of a better word, or***m. Then comes "kaadhu mahima...". It's just one knockout punch after another.

It's like a boxing champion knocking out the same opponent 33 times in the same match. Rasaiya, konjam gap koduppa brilliance-ku song-la. mela mela adukkitte pona epdi thaan rasikkaradhu...

[Sureshs65]

Plum,

Wow. What a description!! I have felt like this in many songs, particularly those that Raja gave for Malayalam. "Poo Kathinodu", "Konji Karayalle", "Ritubedha Kalpana" and so on.

[Plum]

Suresh, for me, this is the one song that got out that feeling. Poongathinodum settles into middling simplicity in the charanams. Konji Karayalle - definitely comes close but the tune is plain-jane there. Here, the tune is a bejewelled, bedecked sinuous maiden(Prabhu Ram, ok, KNNP territory)...

I think I have messed up the lyrics, though, and between "VenuvA vIdhiyA" and "A vEla nAlO", there is a linking passage equally beautiful. Lyrics correct-a sollungalaen...

Plum,

I generally consider the ever increasing melody in the charanams as one of the major hallmark of Raja's great songs. This is quite unlike many of the other MDs, who either come up with some very melodic stuff and maintain it throughout or come up with a lovely pallavi only to bring it down in the charanams. I was listening to 'Kadal Katrin' from Malayalam 'Friends' today and this thought passed through my mind, especially when Jesudas goes to the high pitch during the charanam, "Angakale". What a build up!! Maybe Usha should post this song one of these days.

[app_engine]

I generally consider the ever increasing melody in the charanams as one of the major hallmark of Raja's great songs.

I was thinking exactly the same when listening to 'kAlaththai vendRa' from UO during this morning commute :-)

The shenoy piece that he throws in during the 2nd stanza (befitting to the line that says "thirumaNa oli") is a sweet add-on, typical of IR's sensitivity to situations.

No wonder he is the king of BGM!

[Sureshs65]

Very true app_eng. I too love that shenoy bit. Infact the shenoy leads to the words conveying marriage. His aesthetic sense is impeccable.

[Plum]

Suresh, thanks for the lyrics.

aa aaa aaaa aa aa aaa - There is a joy in Janaki's voice here that is so "God, this man has given me a fertile playground again, let me rip it now", and look at the twists and turns in the humming.

As a pacifist, now I know what it is when you get into a scrap with a champion. Killer, this man, Raja.

Very often, and very commonly, people refer to music as the soothing balm, and melody that puts you to sleep is a description that even acclaimed carnatic singers claim as the proof of the excellence of music.

This song contradicts all that as do many others of Raja. Raja kills us every time; we are masochists, Raja fans; Andha maraNa adiyil dhaan sugame...

Plum,

Lovely description :) Very true. We all want that 'marana adi'. We prefer to be knocked out of our senses rather than be lulled into sleep.

[jaiganes]

Why is Raaja special to me?
simply because we have often heard the term 'leaves you breathless', but Raja practically does it for me - right from 'MEtti oli Kaatrodu' to 'Neramidhu' to till date Kooda varuviya. The way he does it is a mystery to me.
When I listen to 'Dheemi Dheemi si', when shreya starts the ' kuch paane lagi' to the fast passage and completes with violin moving on to the awesome interlude - It is like a rollercoaster taking one loop and leading to 360 degree loop back to back. This relentless movement naturally draws the breath out of me.

[Plum]

Jai, that's true. Breathless describes how you feel when Raja unveils magic after magic in the course of 2.5 minutes. I have felt very many times like someone has pinned me down and held me by force - oru hallucination level. Epdippa describe paNNaradhu.

Sumam Prathi Sumam running through the day in my mind, and I havent even heard it for years. Note by note, I can recall...

And he completes the Shenoy Bit just before the line begins 'Thirumana isai olithaan thinam thinam olikirathey' emphasising that the male is recalling the sound in his mind while having a dialogue with his lady love. why not along the line instead of before the line? It only shows that 'Raaja' is very scientific in understanding that the mind thinks before speaking.
Had he made the shenoy play along the line the whole meaning would've been lost. Any other composer would've done that only(Forget that they would've even thought about introducing such a small bit to enhance the lyrics). Only Such small things keeps us in eternal awe towards the genius Raaja. :notworthy:

I have listened to these songs a zillion times now but when I clicked on the link you gave, I was once again hooked and couldn't shutdown the system until I completed listening to all the songs, though it was late in the night.

Nice song. Lovely tune. The constant beat reminds me of some songs of Chiranjeevi like 'Malli Malli'. The charanam opening is very nice. Can't get an hang of the raga. Seems to be a combination of more than one raga.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

In the link you have provided there is a song from the film Rajkumar, 'Tolichupu Cheli Rasina' (Song 25). This is the Telugu version of 'alai meedu tadumarudhe oru odam'. Hearing it for the first time. An interesting duet, with the male voice singing Telugu lyrics and the female singing Hindi lyrics!!!

[suvai]

Hi Usha nga!
In the last link the 17th song I hear as this " O.. naTana mayUri vayyAri.." is it the song u wanted us to hear?

I always thought voice was a functional necessity for IR but once very often, you get songs like this which tells you he is very aware of the utility of voices as an instrument by itself. That SPB is a part of many of these probably tells us why he stuck to them instead of experimenting. Consider this:
Nijamu naa swapnam - SPB, with janaki humming just that microsec inbetween. The economy of that humming in janaki's voice is a measured and deliberate tool in Raja's hands.

The melodies in various parts of the song escalate, as Suresh observed in other contexts, and keep surprising you with the turns.


What is important is that this is similar to Sumam prathi sumam in that sense but at the same time, it is not the suffocating, continuous escalation of melody stakes. Here, IR gives us enough seconds to absorb one melody before giving another - the net effect is one of sitting on a boat parked near the shore on Godavari on a moonlit night with your beloved, and partaking the simple pleasures of the waves lapping your feet, and the company of sweet nothings.
The lyrics deserve a mention, too. Is it Veturi, Suresh? Sweet nothings never got more melodious words, and lighter or effortlessly weightless profundity.
Stanza:
SPB: Nijamu naa swapnam // My dream IS reality
ho ho - minute humming by S Janaki
Janaki: kalanO lEnO // I may be there, then again I might
be an illusion
SPB: Neevu naa sathyam // You are my reality
ho ho - minute humming by S Janaki, modified from previous time
Janaki: avunO kaanO // Oh, really! Maybe, not!
SPB: Ooha neevai, usuruko raave // if you are an illusion, why dont you just become real?

And so on.... my limited grasp of telugu could only translate so much but while I might be exaggerating ordinary lyrics for all I know, I find the sweet nothings here, the teasing between the girl and the boy, pretty interesting.


Plum - Thanks to your Writings.

Usha,

I used to relate this song tune always with 'Buffalo Soldier' which was freely used by Deva in Nerukku Ner for 'Akila Akila', and many dont buy my theory hope someone finds the similarity in the tune Iam finding :)

Vamsi does come up with some funny ideas, doesn't he? Shobana is so thin and so nice to look at. The movie was also a good one, with a lot of 'Godavari' humor.

RS,
There doesn't seem to be any similarity in tune. Again, i think sandham similarity is mistaken for tune-similarity

"Okate Aasa" - "Buffalo Soldier", idhula kooda pitch, tune are not similar, only the sandhams match. Illeengala?

I've always thought the "Pudhu Mappillaikku" "Naan Paarthadhile" similarity to be overblown though Raaja himself has acknowledged this on stage. Sandham dhaane match aagudhu?

Amaam It was my mistake to refer to it as tune similarity. It is infact sandham similarity and the first few lines have same sandham.

ofcourse PM and NP are sandham matches only. But you can sing either songs in the others tune makes us believe they are inspirations :)

Hi Usha,

Lovely pick.

Last time when I had mentioned songs of Kadhal Jaadi, Plum had responded saying it was a Platinum standard. Couldn't put it better. Every song is class. 'Enna Marandhalum', 'Katre Katre', 'Kanni Mara Koyilile' and a couple more. I heard this movie was never released. A pity. If someone had not heard these earlier I would urge them to do so. They will not be disappointed. One of the most melodious album this decade.

Usha - Manase Manase... a beautiful song, one of my favorite Bavathaarini song. There is a light playfulness kind of emoting by both the singers which I enjoy very much.

[rajkumarc]

Thirupadham Paarthen is an amazing song. The starting humming by Chitra is very soulful.

Love the second interlude. I think it's shenai and it expresses happiness feeling perfectly.

I'm pretty sure it's sung by Gangai Amaran. His voice lacks the rustic feel of IR and I feel it's softer than IR's.

[Sureshs65]

Nice song Usha. The bass guitar is good. The synth sound though is typical of Raja of those times. I am sure there are quite some people who may not like the synth and recording quality. Somehow I have the feeling that the synth usage of Raja in 2009 has qualitative leapt from what it was during the time of this song.

[tvsankar]

Dear suvai
Thanks for the support.

Dear Suresh,
Thanks for the nice comments.

Synth Usage of Raaja - You are correct. Neraiya solanam Suresh.

Singers - Great SPB and SJ

Film - Darja Donga

about Orchestration

Excellent Guitar work. Maalai soodum velai - ninaika vaikkum.

WCM - idharkaga oru Great song.

my friends krish's writings for this song ...

R.V.Krishnan
Naalo Chinukulatho - Darja Donga(Telugu)
This is a typical mid-80's Raaja sir treat and this song is very similar to Maalai Soodum Velai from Naan Mahan Alla in terms of the style of music, change of genre in charanam etc...

I felt there is a mild Baroquian inclination in prelude and pallavi...I also felt some celtic style of music because the Phaser guitars in pallavi literally flows out music like a stream...

The phaser effect guitars in this pallavi are very similar to Maalai Soodum Velai and so is the rhythm time signature...

Nice counter effects in 1st interlude...and there is a shift to Major in charanam..

Charanam has a change in percussion and minimized Phaser...This is again akin to Malai Soodum Velai where the rhythm changes to Tabla...

The 2nd interlude is very interesting...Violins with a keyboard response and also Janaki's lalala response..And notice SPB's Baritone hum...and finally a harmony..quite some Western nuances in this lude...


So a melodious fusion of multiple genre...

But the highlight of this song is the trademark Raaja Phaser effect guitars in pallavi...I have never heard such refined Guitar usage in any other Indian Music director's works...

notes meticulously written for the Bass...That is Maestro!

pro-Raaja...

Thanks Usha for the 'Manaku Dosti' song. A lovely experimental song from Raja. The Sriragam comes out well in the charanams. Lovely guitars and the interludes are excellent. No wonder he will always remain the master of experimentation.
