Vel,

I don't think 'Mottu Vitta Mullai Kooda' is based on Charukesi raagam at all. I don't think the song even follows a raaga pattern! Nor is the song from Aruvadai Naal.

However, Aruvadai Naal does have one song that is based on Charukesi raagam, and it is called 'Chinna Ponnu Chinna Ponnu,' and yes, it must be a pathos song. It is sung by Malaysia Vasudevan and S Janaki. 'Mellaatha Mella Thottu' from the same film is an outstanding composition.

BTW, I heard both these songs at tamiltune.com.

yes raja was the first one to put in carnatic in film. he used carnatic as a tool to put in soul into his tunes. they were original. they are original even in the elangatru veesudhey in last years awarded movie's awarded music's the film PITHA MAGAN. ar rahman copies music. he copied mellisaye in Mr. Romeo from an interlude in the rakamma in thalapathi. many more like that.... rajais just too great. his songs has a tinge of carnatic to give the feeling in his number's in mel-isai. his every tune is different. unlike ar. ar's tune in enakku 18.... is very similar to udaya udaya... in udaya. maybe since udaya wasn't released 4 years, he put the tune in his other movie. but IR will nvr and most importantly DO Not Need to do that b'cause, he is a genius, just look at his port folio on the net what he has done other than film music, miss world1995/6 BGM, has any indian done that b4? he composed with RPO of UK,1st asian to do that. he';s just 22222 great

Pari, if you say that Raja was the first one to put carnatic in film, then you are living under a rock, man! There was plenty of Karnatik in THM before IR, from KVM, MSV, G Ramanathan, et cetera et cetera et cetera.


Anyway, to finish off my last posting, I also heard 'Oru Kaaviyam Arangetram Neram'. I didn't catch a single trace of Da2. Are you sure its raaga is Gowrimanohari and not Keeravaani?

I recently listened to 'shiva garuda' from Kochu kochu sandhoshangal. Cool piece. It's here:

Hi rr,

Thanks for the help on migration of the thread.

Will listen to this piece and get back.

vel, glad to have you back. How is IR?

In 'shiv garuda', pay specific attention to the violin (which comes occassionally) and the finishing touch where vocals and percussion come together..

RR,

IR'aa (raja) pathi ennai visarikareengale...Or did you by any chance mention abt our old timer DFer IsaiRasigai?

Indha paatu mattum illa, i guess most of mallu numbers of IR seem to be of diffferent dimension, unlike tamil.
