The beauty of Yamunai Aatrile and Shobana Chandrakumar | Ilayaraja | Maniratnam | Thalapathi

Raaja Raaja dhaaan!!!

The song which starts as "Yamunai Aatrile" is set in the raaga "Yamuna Kalyani" 😍💯🌹 Beautiful right? Sung by "Mitali Banerjee Bhawmik" who is considered as an exponent of Hindustani Classical vocal music.

The way the singer sings, "Kooda" : "இரவும் போனது, பகலும் போனது, மன்னன் இல்லையே கூட!"  There is a longing. There is a search. There is missing . There is helplessness. There is a sadness that he is not there. If we listen it keenly, we can find this particular word's structure is different from other end rhymes - not as notes but in the "feel" 😪🌹(End rhymes are the end word of a verse which rhymes with the other verse - ஆட, தேட, வாட)

"கண்ணனோடு தான் ஆட!"
"பாவை ராதையோ வாட!"
(Debates apart from the beliefs, just a small comparison) Just like how Lord Krishna never married Radha, whom he loved so much, and the one who was in love with him - the same happens here. Both are in love with each other but is never married to each other. Here the poet compares "Suriya" with Kannan and "Subbhulakshmi" with Radhai. ♥️ (Radha and Lord Krishna's love story which is hailed as one of the greatest of all times) 

Also after the verse - "ஆயர்பாடியில்
கண்ணன் இல்லையோ.."
She is teaching music and without her knowledge as she sings, she starts feeling for him. She is drowned in love. She thinks of him, smiles and hides it out as she sees the faces of the students. And the dancing of her jhumkas while she sings "ஆட". Beautiful. Love how Shobana delivers the feel of the song through her expressions. Just with her expressions. At once she is happy 😍, at once she is sad 😣, at once she is longing 🙁, at once she is in search 👀 A dilemma of feelings. Yes, "ஆசை வைப்பதே, அன்பு தொல்லையோ!"

NOW HEAR THE SONG AGAIN. 
This song is about Love, Devotion, surrendering to God and a poem on Lord Kanna. 

Composed by Maestro Ilayaraja and lovingly written by  Vaali Ayya. Cinematography : Santosh sivan
Direction : Maniratnam

To learn how to do a Violin cover instrumental on Malarnthum Malaradha, click HERE  👈 Raga Abheri : Abheri has a serene and contemplative mood, sometimes with a submissive touch. The scale of Abheri has five swaras during ascent and all the swaras during descent – we call this audava-sampoorna ragam. It is a janyam of the 22nd melakartha, Kharaharapriya. Aarohanam – S G2 M1 P N2 S Avarohanam – S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S Abheri is synonymous with “Nagumomu ganaleni” composed by Saint Thyagaraja , a lilting composition with a light hint of pathos. ...

Kadhal Rojave : Raga Analysis, Notations and Review Kadhal rojavae, A song of sweet pain and flourishing memories is one of those songs we couldn't stop halfway even in situations we have to. One such song that makes us emotional, make ours a teary eye for no reason. The magic of music! As soon as the song begins, our eyes closes and we are transported to another world. The feel it gives us will not make us to stop the song, even when there is a sudden call of work! What an idea to give flute backing to Sujatha's voice, giving such a surreal and mesmerising effect. How do you think of these things ARR  ! How magical it is! It's her humming that puts soul to this song because without the humming part the whole song seems to be incomplete! It makes our mind, travel back magically in time and feels anew like the first time heard with the lovely flute pieces by Naveen Kumar . The whole song is a bliss and her humming part is like cherry on the cake! And Balu sir, always sen...
