    Music and (Emotional) Manipulation..

    We all take for granted the fact that Raaja's music tweeks our emotional stability a lot. Let us discuss what is there in the music - elements which deliver an emotional punch that makes us lose our emotional bearings and simply play us a puppet.
    For starters, I would like ppl to discus on the song
    "Chittukku sella chittukku" from Nallavanukku Nallavan.
    We all know that by now how the song is inspired from a WCM symphony piece by a Russian master Rimsky-Korsakov.
    The prelude with the flood of violins and the saarangi (nenjai arukkum) set up the stage...
    The melody itself carries a bit of melancholy that delivers the first emotional punch, followed by the voice of Yesappu which gets 55 to 60% of those still left standing. Lyrics are poignant, but that gets probably 10% who have seen the movie.. I think the crux of the whole emotional manipulation comes with two sets of violins that play along in a curious conterpoint in tandem with yesappu singing with all his bhava... These accompanying violins are the destroyers in chief that deliver the levelling impact on the emotional psyche. Raaja uses his WCM skill not as a show off , but as a emotional tool to deliver the meaning of the words in a telling fashion..

    When seen in context of the movie, SPM cleverly shows montages that aid in the assault on the viewers in a subtle fashion (Thanks to him).. And Rajini-Radhika - what a pair? Fantastic acting completes the pathos to the T - well done...
    Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.
    - Gore Vidal

    Remember that patriotic composition with brass, drums, strings, chorus, alaap, rock guitar in
    என் கனவினை.......தேசிய கீதம்....இளையராஜா ....ஹரிஹரன்.
    ஸ்ரீ.இளையராஜா'ச famous echo flute /wind instrument passage to bring poignancy , profoundly moving feeling.
    சேரன் thoughtfully picturised Late முரளி's poignant face for that flute passage .

    Morning dose of 'dhEvanin kOvil moodiya nEram' makes me post here. Gangai Amaran's incredibly sad lyrics pulled forward by the zestful orchestration. Chithra's rendition. The prelude humming by Raja and the grand re-entry in the second interlude. This song is one kaleidoscope of emotions.

    Hey I dropped by to post the same composition தேவனின் கோயில்.....அறுவடை நாள்......ஸ்ரீ.இளையராஜா & சித்ரா before I settle down tonight.
    What a masterpiece!
    the mixed mood is amazing..
    சித்ரா's pathos & ஸ்ரீ.இளையராஜா's joyous & energetic vocal harmony
    christian tune, bass guitar, church bells, flute, violin - Timeless melancholy.

    ************************************************** ***

    The other composition I indulged while driving tonight...

    birds chirp & water splashes in ஜானு's ஒரு பூங்காவனம்.....
    violin , piano prelude .... melancholic flute & violin fill -ins /back -ups , synthesizer & violin

    End of a very nice day for me with ஸ்ரீ.இளையராஜா's சங்கீதம்

    Vinatha.

    "சொக்கிப்போகுறது" எமோஷன்ல சேத்தியா, இல்லையா?

    சேத்தின்னா, "அடுக்கு மல்லிகை" ஒரு முக்கிய கேன்டிடேட்!

    "மாம்பூவே இளம்பூங்காத்தே"ன்னு எஸ்பிபி குழைவதிலாகட்டும், ரெண்டாம் இடை இசையில் எஸ்பிபியும் ஜானகியும் சேர்ந்து லல-லல-லல பாடுவதிலாகட்டும், ஏன், அந்தத்தொடக்க இசையிலாகட்டும் - ஒரு ஆள் "சொக்கலை" என்றால் நிச்சயமா ஏதோ ஹார்மோன் பிரச்னை தான்

    ஒரு சின்ன, விபரீத ஆசை - இந்தப்பாட்டுக்கு மோகன்லாலும் ஸ்மிதா பட்டீலும் (குறைந்த பட்சம் சுமலதா) திரையில் தோன்றணும் - பத்மராஜன் இயக்கத்தில்

    பாலா starts singing ....my மனசு உல்லாசமா பறக்க ஆரம்பிச்சுடும் .

    now your பாட்டு over .......I snap out of it so that I can be ready for another roller coaster ride

    I am going with
    minimalistic இளையராஜா's sobbing masterpiece

    weeping flute prelude for ஸ்ரீ.பாலா's சிவரஞ்சனி pathos ..... interlude violin section bleeds , கிடார் follows up the mood ...memorable பாடல் வரிகள் - கவிஞர் வைரமுத்து

    நான் பாடும் மௌன......
    vinatha.

    Couple of compositions from ஸ்ரீ .இளையராஜா are reminiscent of chill & cool atmosphere with beautiful musical themes.
    இளம் பனி துளி விழும் நேரம்......, ஒரு குங்குமச்செங்கமலம்...., ஒ நெஞ்சமே..... etc..

    அதிகாலை நேரமே ...
    புதிதான ராகமே
    எங்கெங்கிலும் ஆலாபனை
    கூடாத நெஞ்சம் ரெண்டும்
    கூடுதே .........பாடுதே .......

    ஜில்லென்ற இளையராஜா's பாடல் ......லவர் பாய் & ஜானு.
    (I must thank CSR for his western music theory).
    Gorgeous multiple violins movement (string quartet)..with பியானோ & flute.

    தாகம் எடுக்கிற நேரம்......that flute & violin & guitar lude with the beat...ஓடையில் படகு பயணம் எடுக்கிற சந்தோசம்.
    along with வைரமுத்து's impressive poetic imagery.
    http://www.raaga.com/player4/?id=393...43867746013319
    தாகம் எடுக்கிற நேரம்
    வாசல் வருகுது மேகம்
    மதுமழை பொழியுமா.....
    Vinatha.
