Rajesh,

TIS pathi discuss vena pannalam...Review ellam ezhudha enakku arivu pathaadhu...Venum'na, angae ingae konjam ragam usage pathi sollalam...

But we will never in our lifetime, be able to decipher the plot of this musical narration by IR.

Too much ahead of its times.

Have been following the artciles being posted by CSR in ILAIYARAGAM yahoo groups?

RR,

Do you have the scale details for saranga tharangini?

Also, what scale is sindhuramakriya? Thanks to Vinu for pointing me towards this composition of IR in this raga.

vel,
sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks for the raga usage in TIS.
I am so happy that, my musical friends here in trivandrum are in high praise for the TIS work, and many of the people who know music are keen in hearing to it, I think by word of mouth, TIS would definitely be a commercial success too.
One of my friend, who is not aware of IR's works, but a qualified musician and a spiritually inclined person, says, " Whenever I hear this music, it just make me to hear it again and again, the more u hear to it, the more u want from it. It is like a meditation-like experience. Eventhough I do not know the meaning of the words, the words have some magnetic attraction."
I was so happy hear these unbiased words from a person, who cant understand the language in which it is sung. He even asked me to write the lyrics to him in malayalam.
His favorite is " Pollaa vinayae.."
thanks vel. I will visit ur ilaiyaraagam and respond later. thanks a lot.
