Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[rajaramsgi]

Thanks Vinatha, app_engine and SKV for the very simple and detailed explanation. As you say, the lesser ocatves used, the lesser choices for anyone to compose a song.

Assuming that raja used 2 notes or even 1 note for a song, how far he must have gone to other ocataves to bring a simple melody? whether it is va va pakkam va OR the telugu song he performed in Andrum Indrum Endrum ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&v=EwGeHvOCxfQ 3 notes telugu song with Shreya)

I am sure our man is capable of any musical magic. He is blessed without any doubt, my point is he just did not sat there with his blessings, he made of use of it, learned, developed, achieved and achieving.
