One of my most fav songs from IR.
"Nethu varikkum" from "Kasthurimaan" (2005)
http://www.thiraipaadal.com/albums/ALBIRR00284.html
interesting patterns. If you liked NL, check this one out.
I liked the song Ananth. Very typical Illayaraja song. Nowadays that is the problem !! If it is a typical Illayaraja song, everyone says 'Oh, it is the same old Raja It is dated etc'. If he does something new, another set says, 'This is not Raja we know. It is not as it was in 80s' :)

Nethu ....kasturimaan....variant of gundu malli gundu malli... solla marandha kadhai tune.
Same tune has been used in 1999 - film Annan....song VAYASU PULLA.....IR AND SUJATHA.
yesterday watched KUMBAKKARAI THANGAIYA....
what an album! mesmerizing flute usages, honey soaked vocals & tunes! :musicsmile:

Enna ragam ? solla muidyuma?
"Nethu varaikum" is "pahadi" according to http://www.geocities.com/ilaiyaragam/index.html
the song also reminds me a little of "alolam kili thopile" from "Siraichaalai" (mainly the orchestration).
Baroque,
You are right. The ragam of this song and 'Gundu Malli' seem to be the same, though Raja takes it a different route in the charanams. A very nice melody.
Fully agree with you on Kumbakarai Thangayya.

Shri.Ilayaraaja wanders-delirious :) remember the song yedhedho ennam valarthen...punnagai mannan too pallavi goes in pahadi melody but charanams deviates. Same in naadham en jeevaney.... Pallavi absolute Abheri but charanams, Raaja runs in Keeravani scale. poovomaa.... chinna thambi.... pallavi gives Sivaranjani bhaavam and then he runs on keeravani notes, kaadhoram lolaakku kadhaiya.... just about your ears start to realize ambience of Raga ASAAVERI, Ilayaaraja runs away, takes off with his job of churning out tunes. :)
The other day I was listening to MANJU KULIRUM......SANDHAYAKKU VIRINJA POOVU.... enchanting prelude aalaap gave me an amazing pahadi touch(kora kagaaz..Aradhana... reminds)
I have no theory knowledge :D ...I know few keerthanais by listening. :) I go by NOT NECESSARILY IN THE SAME SCALE... THE IMPROVISATIONS LIES IN THE MODULATION AND TRANPOSITION OF DIFFERENT KEYS.... raaga bhaavam.
Indian cinema has offered some stunning pahadies.
From Raga perspective and the soulful tunes, some of them I adore....
Ilayaraaja's indha maan.... karagattakkaran is an amazing pahadi with waltz touch.
mounamaana neram... is a nice Pahadi.
isharon .....kashmir kikali...O.P.Nayyar
naadu adhai naadu.... is a passionate pahadi from MSV.
kabhi kabhi.... Khayyam Saab's pahadies are glorious composition.
chandavika chand.....Ravi saab's classic.
orey naal unai naan... Ever green Shri.IR
kannukku kulamedhu.... Classical heavy wt from Shri.MSV
kora kagaaz....Aradhana... GREAT R.D.Burman.
2008 SIFA ,Sanjose concert Ranjani-Gayatri sang Paayo ji maine ram ratan .... bhajan in Rag pahadi... What a soulful singing.
Vinatha.
