The neraval starts around 1'40 "akaranka neeve"(?) - and goes on for several minutes (until 5'29 precisely) - The violin playing is very nice (Kandadevi Azhagirisamy) !!Ĭlick (requires username password) this link for the clip.Ģ.Singer and actor MD Pallavi is one of the three Bengalureans to win the Sangeeta Nataka Award. Listen to this rare piece in the raga Pushpalatika - "Ikanaina" - by Muttuswami Dikshitar (From her Carnegie hall concert in the 70s) Finally, the climaxes invariably are crescendos - unlike most musicians - very impactful! However, a deeper listening reveals small gems that are studded all along the way - very minor variations - that are rewarding! The second one is about the control of voice - a trademark in her singing - amazing control and precision at an amazing tempo in the higher octave. First the use of simple sangathis* - involved in the repeated singing of a line - the variations of sangathis is almost minimal, for a casual listener. It probably does not have the variety of KVN or the flamboyance of some the younger artists - However, it has certain simple qualities that make it very appealing. Off late - I have been increasingly attracted to M.S Subbulakshmi's neraval singing. The fine violin in the background (adding the carnatic touch) is Viji Krishnan (TNK's daughter) and P Srinivasan is on Mridangam. I know running's not the answer, but running's been my nature Within me there's a prison, surrounding me aloneĪs real as any dungeon with a wall of stone There just had to be a lesson for the running kind I was born the running kind, leaving always on my mindĮvery front door found me open I would find the back door open The pleasant singing and the nice guitar (Simpson himself) and banjo playing (David Hidalgo), and above all the lyrics with a touch of sadness, kept pushing me to the depths of the poetry and music further and further on repeated listening. I kept listening to Martin Simpson singing "The running kind", today.

Rendered very nicely by Sudha Raghunathan. The song was composed right after Gandhi's death - the last charanam actually is a dedication -! All the way underscoring the need for greater understanding of all His songs has been set to music by other musicians - Calcutta Krishnamurti - and this song was set to tune by Sethu Madhava Rao.Ībout the song itself - it is sent to Tilang ragam - and was a favorite of DK Pattamaal and MS Subbulakshmi. The song was written by Suddhanandha Bharati (the "eppadi paadinaro" song), who was an ardent fan of Bharatiyaar - and a close associate of Kalki Krishnamurti and Ramalinga adigal - and was an activist for Tamizh Isai. While walking back home, I was reminded of Santhi Nilava Vendum - a pleasant song and did some research on that song over the weekend. There was some very nice choir singing, and was followed by readings from various religious texts. I attended a peace vigil organized by a local church in Port Jefferson last weekend. Madura Marikozhundhu - from Enga Ooru Paatukaaran - in Mayamayava Gowla scale - note that similar to the compositions above, there is splendid western orchestration - but then the song itself has a very "folk" flavor - a beautiful mix of some fine poetry and chorus singing! Listen to the charam lines ("pottunna.") - each long line spans two beat cycles and set to a beautiful pace - tops the list! Dheem Dheeranana from Enakkul Oruvan - A beautiful "thillana-like" dance composition in the Suddha Dhanyasi Ragam - again some fine orchestration here - wish the people who do orchestration for carnatic songs take a lesson or two from Ilayaraja!ģ. (SPB's amazing sense of Thalam is very evident here - look how Janaki struggles in the last lines of the charanam "kanavugal pala valarthen.")Ģ.

Keeravani from Paadum Paravaigal - A beautiful composition in the Keeravani scale - wonderful mix of guitar and violin - what an amazing start - plus SPB singing in a fine bass voice. Based on the frequency of my repeated listenings I have chosen to provide links to three beautiful Ilayaraja compositions, which IMHO rank among the finest of his output.ġ.
