In terms of IR songs with trumpets/lavish use of instruments, we can list Vaanam kizhe, Paattinge, Sorgam madhuvile as the best.
Add "seevi sinukkeduthu" from Vetri vizha to that list. When Vetri vizha was released, I liked the quintessential "Maarugo Marugo" and "Poongatru un paer solla" more than other songs. Decades after, I am rediscovering songs like "Seevi sinukkeduthu", 'vaanamenna keezhirukku" and "Thathom thalaangu". I am loving the heavy acoustics and piano. "Seevi sinukkeduthu" is what i would put as Thamizh folk dressed in western dress. The kind of song that is, it provides aural entertainment at various levels and entertains a WCM lover to some beautiful trumpets while making our (thamizhar) feets dance to the charanams. It is mind blowing in the sense that IR has made two different music forms coexist in one song delighting the lovers of both music forms!!! This is dissolving both forms of music into a synthesized new IR form of music!! It is like both forms of music have married and begotten a child, which to those from father's side looks like the father and to those from mother's side resembles the mother. Yet the child is unique in its own way. The ultimate joy of creation!!
