Hi I'd thought that I should share
some info regarding raga vasanti and theeyil
Raga Vasanti has
a basic scale of S R2 G3 P D1 S S D1 P G3 R2 S. It is a newly introduced raga
into the classical music sampradaya as there aren't any traditional compositions
in this raga. It hasn't found a place in most of the old treatises either. There
is also a doubt about its parent raga, where the could be's are the 25th mela
Mararanjini, 26th mela Charukesi as u said and 27th mela Sarasangi.
Theeyil has a very constructive melody which requires attentive listening to understand its structure. Now let's
indulge :
The Pallavi pure uses all notes
denoting raga vasanti.
The 1st Caranam
"mazhalayin neer vaanggi mazheyea
azhuvathu pol
Thaayin yir thanggi thanayan
azhuvaano?
uyirai thantavalin uyirai Kappaana
kadanai Theerpaana
Thangam Pole Irunthaval Thaan
Sarukaipole Anatha Naal
Singampole Iruntha Mahan
Seviliyaipole Avaana?"
has usage of swaras R1, M1 and
N1 which equates to raga vakulaabharanam of the 14th mela.
The 2nd Caranam
"Ore Sollil Ore Ulakam Amma,
Ulakellam Ore Solum Amma"
Still maintaning usage of raga
vakulaabaranam.
"Nee Sumantha Pillaiyayi
Naanirunthen Amma
Naan Sumakkum Pillaiyayi nee aanai amma"
a beautifull transition happens
making the raga brighter when the swara D2 (28th mela Raga Harikaambhoji
occurs) is introduced at amma and its back to the basic when D1 is
introduced again at the second amma. Fantastic isn't it.
"Ennakedhum aanathenuna unnaku
veru pillai undu
Unnakethum aanathuna yennaku veru thayirukka
?"
these lines are purely in vasanti as in
the pallavi
"Nenjai ooti valarthavalai,
kanil
madiyayi sumanthavalai
manil vittu viduvana?
manathil
mattum sumapana?"
As in thangam pole in 1st
caranam
3rd Caranam
As in the 1st caranam in raga
vakulabaranam
So there you are, hope i've
enlighten you.
Thanks
Regards
Keshav

Vasanthi (Bhoopkali/Bhoopeshri)
Hii
After reading several posts abt Theeyil song frm GF
abt the raga..yes..its is Carnatic Raga Vasanthi & the Hindustani
equivalent is Raga Bhoopkali or Bhoopeshri. It has all shuddha swaras
except Dha & it omits Madhyam & Nishad though in some cases it may
add a Teevra Madhyam being from the Marwa thaat (Raga Family). So its Sa
Re Ga Pa Dha(Komal) Sa. ARR's used this raga in Taj Mahal (Adi
manjakkizhange), Mudhalvan (Kurukku chiruthavale) & JanaGanaMana album
(Hariharan's rendition of Desh ka salam).
Theeyil has an exceptional
quality of moving ur soul...thats ARR
magic!
Njoy...

Yeah I guess ur right Arya,Raag
Vaasanthi closes atribute Theeyil not pure though, the
caranam has presences of other notes.. Being similar to his previous
works like 'adi manjakkizhangge' (TAJ MAHAL) and of course Kurrukku
Chiruttavalea (MUDHALVAN).

hi Friends, my rankings here : What abt
urs??
1. Kaatril Vor Vaarthaai - in shades of Raag
Natabhairavi & Sindhubhairavi as sometimes remind me of
certain places in thillana thillana from Muththu. ![]()
2. Theeyil song has been wonderfully classically
treated, where in Carnatic Music, it is called Raag Vaasanthi.
![]()
3. Ilamai - well westernized song ![]()
4. Innisai though in (Raag Hindolam in Carnatic)
i am disappointed by too much
usage of Jathis & Swarams (Surs) leads to confusion at one
moment and he has given 3 tracks for this with very little
differences, i cud find. ![]() His
stamp/punch is missing when compared to Minsaara Kanna song in
Padaiyappa or Kannodu Kaanbathellam in Jeans or Maargazhi
Thingallalavaa in Sangamam ![]()
5. Dhinam Deepavali - 'A' funny folk (even sounds
like daandiya beat) ![]()
6. Kamma karaiyil - Kooththu (no comments) ![]()
70% is the net result when compared to his previous
works. Pankaj ![]()
