Date: July 14

Singers: Malaysia Vasudevan
Movie: Kadal Meengal


Thanks Swathy for permitting me to post today's pick. Maestro fans.. its time to have some breeze after the lull in this thread.

Today's pick is an awesome masterpiece and an excellent showcase of Counterpoint. Please do listen to the song prelude and you will understand what am talking about. It starts with a western instrument, not sure which one and then a beautiful violin starts to play as a counter melody to the first instrument.

The way the two instruments finish thi song prelude and lead into the male playback to start is wonderful. There will be a half a second pause after the instruments finish and Malaysia picks up... similar to the very brief time gap of silence before the crowd starts to applaud for a musician's orchestration performance.

I listened to this song last week and I was playing this prelude for umpteen times. Am sure we will have more discussions on this with Hulks and baroque the counterpoint specialist elaborating.

Other highlights of this song according to my observations:

1. Rare Malaysia Vasudevan - Kamal combo
2. Got subdued due to the masterpiece Thalattuthey Vaanam

Let's have our healthy discussions back here.

This song exemplifies counterpoint. Great pick, Renault!

"Rare Malaysia Vasudevan - Kamal combo"...Nop..this song had Suman dancing with Ambi chEchi...(adhu dhAnga, Shivaji pada villain)...

Impressive violin work in the middle of the song!

Terrific song- disco number, laced with WCM-like counterpoints throughout but yet based on a Sarasaangi scale which lends a slight pathos touch. Rarely do you get such a heady cocktail of genres in a single song.

nice song renault :-)

How we miss this innovative IR!!!
