"As the world wakes, it shall taste the spirit of our music. Our spiritual treasures shall reach the frontiers of earth."
It had taken two years of waiting for these words to become a reality! As the world is waking up TODAY[30th June,2005], the entire world will be reverberating with the toils of sustained effort and Thiruvasagam by Ilaiyaraaja will be making its entry to enchant all the music lovers!
i will reserve my further emotions from leting out for another 12 hours or so until I hear the good news of TbI's release but in the mean time, I request every one of you music loving people to post at least one line of your sincere wishes for its success which I value the most. I will also hold of my thanks to all of you untill then.
Now, flood this thread with your wishes!!
YIA!![yellaam iRaivan aruL]!!
p.s. I also want to give you a small excercise for which the responses will be expected from July 1 onwards!1 here is the exercise!
Please keep a paper and pen next to you when you hear this divine music for the first time and immediately after hearing the second song in the Cd, please turn of your system and write whatever feelings that occurred to you then.
We will select the best entry and the winner will be given a memorable gift !
Dear Shri. Ilayaraaja,
Congratulations!! This is YOUR DAY!! You are making History with your TIS-musical masterpiece!! We are fortunate to grow up with your music!! Your music has been a motivation, thaalattu, made us cry, smile, laugh, appreciate nature, relationships , taught us values, shaped our personalities, show us romance, thrill etc... Now with TIS- you are giving us spiritual feast!! TIS will be cherished forever by future generation!! There is lot more to come from you, God of Music, my Ilayaraaja!! We are eternally grateful to you!! Thanks!!
My sincere gratitude to Fr.Jegath, Dr.Shankar, all volunteers who worked very hard to make it possible!! Very proud !! You are all wonderful!! Love you all so much! Best Wishes! Vinu.
Enthusiasm is contagious!!!!!
(I spoke to my 70yrs old dad just now, he said ' appa pesaremma,good morning here' next word he uttered was TIS-unnoda IR innikku varudhu, very happy, I have bought 20 books, will buy 20 cassettes, nanna appreciate panni enjoy pannaravalukku kodukka poren" I am very proud of him, I want to mention about my great dad, who has been such a positive influence on me!! I am fortunate to have two greatest men in my life!! )
That the first copy will be given to VDakshinamoorthy is proof that IR is acknowledging whom really mattered to his musical depth or manvaasanai. In fact, I feel IR would place Swami VD at a depth of musical feelings or senses equivalent to the heights to which MSV, GR, KVM and Salilda took Indian music.
So, I imagine paying a tribute to none other than Swami VD, IR must have scoured the depths of Indian cultural legacies like he has never done before and match literary depthy and spiritual timelessness in Tiruvacagam. Therefore, this album in its entirety must be priceless, why just only the first composition alone!
Hail the real ageless Swami of all composers, Dakshinamoorthy! And, best wishes to Shri Ilayaraja for this great man has acknowledged his masters before him.
Dear Friends,
I hope for everyone the day has begin so peacefully with a great sensation that we're going to have the music of the universe released today. I hope it will be available in the stores by tomorrow (I dont know about the Bangalore stores). Could anybody let me know about the release in Bangalore? I'm now back in Bangalore and I'm worried about it. If not, I have to travel to Hosur to get it. I'm planning to buy a woofer and a couple of good speakers for my computer to hear Thiruvasagam - A Classical Crossover. We guys were really doing a davam to hear our thalaivar's classical project. When and where are they going to release it?
Thalaiva, All the Best!!!!!
We'll start anticipating your next international project from now.
Musically yours ever,
Irfan
I forgot to mention that you e-mail your wishes to tisusa@gmail.com and the 'exercice' mail also to the same id for us to co-ordinate apart from posting here.
Thanks.
YIA!!
Of all the blank papers which one will you select for a winner :? :)Quote:
