Thillanas

[Oldposts]

Sorry if I am being vague...there is a thillana composed by some composer but was tuned by Lalgudi Jayaraman. Can someone clarify which tillana this one is.

[Oldposts]

>>"is there necessarily a percussion instrument involved <<" yes in a concert scenario (A good mridhangist follows the jadis:)

Lakshman, would you mind posting your awesome list of thillaanas here, which would also answer Nado's question in another thread about thillaanas by Shyama Sasthri...

[Oldposts]

There are tillanas in Pahadi by both Lalgudi and S.Kalyanaraman. The scale for this raga is: S R G P D P D S; N D P G M G R S N D P D S in mela 29.
Aro/avaro of Padi (mela 15) is S R M P N S; S N P D P M R S.
Bhatiyar: There are three types. The first one belongs to mela 53. There is no karnatak raga resembling this raga. The second variety is in mela 29 and karnataka raga Chayatarangini has some affinity to this raga in many sancharas. The third type is placed under mela 28 and sounds like Sama without the nishada in aroha. Another raga that is close is Balahamsa but the notes r g m s in the avarohana of Balahamsa are not found in Bhatiyari of this type.
I will try to assemble the tillanas and post them later.

Lakshman - that is a very impressive list - thanks a million- great to look at the array of ragas used in thillaanas

[Oldposts]

Thanks Lakshman. Is the NarayanTirtha Tillana the one reset by Lalgudi ? If not it may be the oldest !

It is quite amazing that Syamasastri who borrowed 'swarajati' ideas from dance does not have a single tillana. Maybe he should have paid more attention to the 'living' Devis and their footwork. Equally odd is that Dharmapuri SI has only one.


But his contemporary (?) Swati Tirunal has quite a few, as well as the Tanjore quartet ! That seems to fit in with the strongly deshya raga choice for the tillanas.

I suppose the 'Simhanandana' tala (MahaVaidyanathIyer begada above ) can be described by dancers in their footwork. Glad to have some information on this. Thanks for comments.

[Oldposts]

In addition to the SyamaSastri anomaly above could you also confirm whether the SwatiTirunal tillana above is in Malunji-Dhanyasi ? I am aware of a raga Malgunji. ( sorry simhananda talam was in kapi , not begada )

Are there any tillanas in raagas with no krities in them ? This Malgunji-Dhanyasi, Hamsalata and KanakaKusumavali are candidates.

Thanks

Nadopasaka:
I am aware of raga Malguni which is a janya of Kafi thaat (mela 22). The raga Malunji Dhanyasi is what I recorded from a book of Kritis of Svati Tirunal-some 371 of them in english by Gowri Kuppuswamy. It does not give the scales. I am not sure what this raga is. It is definitely not Malgunji.
In Hamsalata one other song I have is Kripa juda samayamamma by Kumari C.Suguna and in Kanakakusumavali there is asong Karunakara sharadi by Tiruvettiyur Tyagayya.

[Oldposts]

Lakshman Thanks, Malguni may be some corruption of Malkauns and Phalguni. Malgunji may be non-existent or derived from from Malkunj-Malkauns.

Anyway Lakshman, Isrgi, I am intrigued by this Veenai Shesha Iyer. I assume he is different from Pallavi Seshaiyer and the other great vainika Veenai Seshanna. I culled from Lakshman's list on Thillanas his compositions. They are in Vasanta,Yamunakalyani(2),Vasantamanohari ,Hindola(2) ,Hamsanandi,Kapinarayani ,Hamirkalyani,Behag,Kapi,a Ragamalika,Athana,Shanmukhapriya,Surati,Rageshri,S ohini,Natakuranji,Simhendramadhyam,Jajaivanti,Mish rashivaranjani,Revati,Behag,Basantbahar,Chenjuruti ,Natabhairavi,Bilahari,Kanada which can be seen to strongly favor the Deshya raagas.

But he also has tillanas in the following rare raagas:

Kamalaveni, Lalitangi, Ganaranjani, Sukumari, DipikaVasanta, HamsaNada, HamsaKalyani, HamsaLata, HamsaVinodini, Kanakakusumavali, LalitaManohari, MallikaVasanta. I would not be surprised if some of these are the only krities in these raagas (maybe one or two others max. ).

what is the time (19th century?) in which he lived ? TiruTyg was the son of Vinai Kuppier and this KCSuguna may be of the present. I suspect Veenai Shesha Iyer may be much older. What are his regular krities ? Thanks

Nadopasaka:
Vinai Shesha Iyer is of course different from Pallavi Shesha Iyer and is very much alive and well in his late 60s. He is an electrical engineer by profession and lives in Chennai and devotes all his time after retirement to music. His compositions number around 400 or so published in 4 volumes. They include Svarajatis, padams, padavarnam, javalis, kritis and tillanas. He has used many rare ragas as you noticed in the tillana list. I will go through the list and pick out some kritis and post them later.
