"தில் 'ஸ்டடி ஃபார் வயலின்' என்கிற பகுதி வருகிறது. வெஸ்டர்ன் மியூஸிக்கோடு வயலின் சிங்க்ரனைஸ் ஆகி இழைந்து, பரந்து பரவிப் படருகிற அபூர்வமான 'பிட்' இது. பிரபலமான வயலின் வித்வான்களுக்கே இது ஒரு சவால்! "
"Study for violin" - Does he mean the "thulasi dhala mulache" , Thyagaraja kruthi padded with wcm elements ? Yes it is melliflous but I feel that piece starting with Hamsadhwani and traversing thru various other scales and the mind blowing piece in "Gujari thodi" scale to be more complicated than the MMG piece.
I like the title piece "How to name it" which has beautiful transition from Simhendramadhyamam to Shanmugapriya and a brief peep into Gowrimanohari. Raja's shanmugapriya can make me tizzy. In HTNI, he touches this scale thrice , in 3 different pieces.
I think the study of violin is the part where there are two simultaneous sounding violins when it is actually one violin. That is indeed difficult.
hulkster, do u mean that tiny Shanmugapriya bit ? I thought 2 violins were used. If its done by a single violin, its amazing indeed
Its one violin made to sound twice. :D. Thalaivar only experiments when he gets challenges.Quote:

Really a music scientist than a composer :D
For such a composer, his output is quite less. Of course, he has also answered all these questions 1000s of times in his 1000s of interludes for film songs, but they are hidden. If only he had done 100 films less and 10 more independent albums...Quote:

Violin vicky has come up with a amazing explanation. After going through his articles i realise that Raaja is not just a music scientist but a genre by himself. Maybe even GOD of Music.
Those who have never heard him touch qawwali genre can see it in the third post.
Today is a special day in Raaja sir’s music career. Yes, before 5 years today {June 6th} is the day on which Raaja sir has started off composing the melodies and its oriented orchestra annotation for the album “Thiruvasagam in Oratoria”. He has chosen some selected verses from the below:
Polla vinayen from Sivapuranam {Namashivaya vazhga},
Puttril vazh Aravum Anjen from Acchap paththu,
Pooverukonum Purantharanum from Thirukoth-thumbi {Shivanodu ikkiyum - Incorporating with Lord Shiva},
Umbarkatkarasaey from Pidiththa paththu {Muththik-kalap-puraiththal},
Muthu Natramam from Acchop pathikam {Anupava-vazhi ariyaamai},
Poovaar Senni Mannan from Yaaththirai paththu {Anubhava Athiitham uraiththal}.
He has accomplished the composing work on June 18th, which is actually saint Manickavasagar day! i.e., The music composing work of this project was well thought-out in the last 12 days of Saint Manickavasagar.
Besides the original verses, Raaja sir has appended a couple of lines in the composition - Puttril vazh Aravum Anjen: Vaathanur adigal {Saint Manickavasagar} vazhga, vaazhththum avar adiyaar vazhga!
Reportedly, these compositions are considered as “Classical Cross-over” genre. Infact, this album is an Oratorio album. Oratorio is a musical composition for vocal and orchestra, which narrates a sacred story {hymn} without any dramatic performance.
Basically, Oratorio is a work type. Considering the western factors, each compositions from this album fall into different genre.
Poovaar Senni Mannan is Marching genre,
Polla vinayen is Choral music genre {verse - Aakkam alavu is alone “A cappella”},
Thiruk koththumpi could be called as Guzzanelle {in lighter vein}. Guzzanelle is very amicable to Ballad. In that manner, Thiruk koththumpi is reportedly "Ballad" or "Devotional Ballad" {I did coin this term},
Umbarkatkarasaey – Choral music genre,
Muthu Natramam – Ballet Genre {in lighter vein},
Puttril vazh Aravum Anjen – Classical genre {Initially, it has mere opera elements of dialect}.
"சொல்லிய பாட்டின் பொருள் உணர்ந்து சொல்லுவார்
செல்வர் சிவபுரத்தின் உள்ளார் சிவன் அடிக்கீழ்ப்...
"Cholliya pattin porul unar{i}ndhu cholluvar
selvar Shivaburaththin ullar Shivan adikkizhp..."
The above lines are from last verse of Shivapuram {93rd and 94th lines}.
As Rev.G.U.Pope: 'NEATH THY SACRED FEET
THEY LEARN THE MEANING OF THEIR SONG.The blessed ones
In Civan's town who dwell, - full many a one, - beneath...'
If someone understand this song {shivapuranam} and explain/narrate about this song then he/she would go to Lord shiva's place...!
Through this album Raaja sir has rewritten the norms of Oratorio. After all He is an incarnation of Music!
always
~~Raaja rules!
Wow, excellent write-ups by Vicky! Thanks Hulkster for the links!
I was guessing 'which piece this could have been' every now and then while reading. My joy was unbounded when I was spot on with the 'do anything' piece as sample for shenoy in WCM setting :-)
