A tribute to Lalgudi:
http://www.the-hindu.com/stories/09190702.htm
Seshu's thillana in niroshta is very good. i recently heard it in a Gayathri Girish's concert. Is DOS2 another cd/cassette? i too have the DOS1 and thats really fantastic.
AK: Kaikavasi is srgmpdns - snpmgrs, janya of neetimati. my ref book says thyagaraja composed 'vachama gochara' in this raga.
Good topic for discussion
I also like Sri Lalgudi's tillanas. I was fortunate to learn the following tillanas in the raga Madhuvanthi, Desh, Kapi and Misra-Sivaranjani. He is imdee a great Mastero.
I would very much like to know if anybody has the recording of Madurai Somu of the song "Madu Meykkum Kanna" in the raga Desh?
Thanks
MR
Lalgudi's thillanas are really great.
My favotie one is in "thilang".He's composed thillanas in many rare raagas.
Does anyboy have a list of his "thillanas".
lalgudi's thillaana's are more popular and lot easier to follow than BMK 's (IMO - more melodious and classy!!!!)))) (Nado, nandini, narayanan would know what I mean!!)))
Here is what I remember:
Thilang
Bindumaalini
Mishra Shivaranjani
Behaag
Baageshri
Desh
Kaapi
Hamsaanandhi
NalinaKaanthi
Maand
Karna Ranjani
Madhuvanthi
Chen Churutti
Vasantha
Vaasanthi
Revathi
Raageshri
Khamaas
Yamuna Kalyaani
Mohana Kalyaani
Sindhu Bhairavi
KadhanaKudoohalam
Dwijaavanthi
Brindhavani
Paahadi
Kaanada
Aanandha Bhairavi
Darbaari Kaanada
Kunthala Varaali
Aaberi
Gosh, he has covered almost all of the beautiful raagas :::))))
IR:
I beg to differ with you but unless there is another of his books published, he has no compositions in Bindumalini, Chenjuruti, Abheri and Kadanakutuhala. There is a tanavarnam in Nalinakanti 'Nive gatiyani nerata'
Lakshman:
I am reasonably sure about all of the above thillaanas. I attended a workshop on Lalgudi's compositions. Some of these thillaanas were mentioned.. I am positive about Kadanakuthuhalam - Aadhi thaala thillaana - I know that piece
I am also sure about Bindumaalini and Aaberi - check out "In the Lalgudi tradition' CD.
also, add Hameer Kalyaani to my list..
Chenjurutti is one that I am not able to recollect well.... but have a strong feeling that I have heard that thillaana - would post when I get some more info on this...
Thanks
Are Thillanas typically in Deshya raagas ? If so , why ? Thanks for comments.
not necessarily Nado - but in a concert, thillaana would be included as a "thukkada" and usually the trend is to sing thukkadaas in Deshya (not always) or rakthi or lighter raagas...
Hi isrgi :-)), are there any Thillanas in any Melakarta ragas ? Muthiah B. may have some, I feel. Do the dance accompanists indulge in these more whole-heartedly ?
