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.

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
