Raja's Gems - the latest one you heard...Part 3

[kiru]

I think , Kiru is talking about GRAMTHU ADHYAYAM.

.....
WCM orchestration kammiyaa poyee apparamaa pick up aanadhu by 2000?

siraichaalai, poovarasan etc... around later 90s rt!

but.. you know better

...

Yes, maybe around that time-frame, I am not good with the dates, but I do see a pattern in the WCM usage. It is as though IR thought what he was doing was silly and cut down on using bits-and-pieces of WCM techniques and tried to do more holistic treatment - one good example would be enna solli pAduvatho - from en mana vaanil (2002). BTW, There are folks here who really know WCM. But I am the one who probably talks more (knowing little) - a arai kudam .

Mum was flipping channels and stopped at a Sivaji song. It had a killer flute lead playing with guitars and bass in the background. Not even for a second did I have a doubt that it could be someone other than the man. And indeed, it was him... neramidhu neramidhu - Rishimoolam

I love this 'therattipaal' sweet very much. This is one special sweet where my tongue never gets tired of eating. There are other sweets which die down quickly in their taste. This is one sweet which I cannot stop eating one or two. I need atleast a bowl. Fearing that, no one in my family brings that sweet to me or make that sweet much at home too. Neverthless I enjoy its taste in many Maestro's compositions. This is one of them which can beat all others too in sweetness. Just imagine if a little sweet can remain in our senses after long time since we had, how long this composition should remain in our heart? For a endless time period.

Just when prelude starts with bass guitar, flute and veena and Jayachandran starts singing 'Maa...an' (a pause) 'kidaavae...e nin nenjum orambetru', there itself we are lost and the sweetness lingers till the end. Anu-pallavi and the pallavi with improvisation which starts after that, you cannot stop rewinding this piece. Wonderful communication between guitar and flute in the interlude. We are very lucky to hear such wonderful music. Charanam tops them all. Sweetness beyond imagination. Second interlude is again a mood stealer with guitar and solo violin.

DEva paathangaLE thEdum theerthangaL naam...Aha what a line and how sweetly composed.



If suppose Maestro asks my wish, what kind of song I would like him to compose, definitely I would choose this song. Simple tabla percussion with minimal orchestration. Just this tabla can surely beat any modern percussion instruments. The soul in this tabla could not be replaced by any other synth instruments. Please hear it to believe it. Great great singing by Jayachandran. No wonder he got offended with kolaveri di as a singing performance. A tune to die for. There is sweetness in every bit of this tune. There is unpredicability at every corner. Every bit of this tune and singing is enough for me to forget my favorite therattipaal.

ஆரம்ப இசை உருவாக்கத்திற்கே சொத்தை எழுதி வைத்துவிடலாம். அதுக்கப்புறம் கேட்பதெல்லாம் போனஸ்!

சுசிலாவின் குரல் தரும் ஸ்வீட்டுக்கு ஈடு இணை இல்லை! தன்னோட சேர்ந்து பாடுவது ஒரு வித்தகி என்றாலும் ம.வாசுதேவனின் குரல் ஆளுமையை நினைக்கும்போது மெய்சிலிர்க்குது!
