*oru nal poduma*
*rAga mAlika, literally a garland of rAgas, is a very popular form of composition in Carnatic music. These are delightful compositions, where the various segments are set to different rAgas, with a smooth and melodious flow of music during the transition from one rAga to the next. The choice of rAgas, as well as the order in which they appear in a rAga mAlika, are based solely on aesthetic considerations. The main point is that a feeling of abruptness or a gap should be avoided when shifting between rAgas and the flow of music should be very smooth. Also, closely allied rAgas do not generally appear in the same composition. Ideally, consecutive rAgas should possess distinct melodic character.* *A treat to ears of carnatic music lover but liked by hindustani music lover too to compare both paddathi.* *In medieval period, this musical form was known as rAga kadambakam, kadamba being a garland of different flowers. rAga mAlikas have been employed not only in strict kriti formats, but they also appear in numerous other types of compositions, including Varnams, Swarajatis, Jatiswarams, Slokas, Viruttams, Tillanas and the concluding Mangalam pieces.* *Wondering who created the concept for this song? The movie director or the music composer. I mean, not the situation but the idea to use different ragas in the same song and identify them in the lyrics - "oru naal pothuMAA iNDroru", "ezhunTHODI varuvaar andro", "DURBARIl evarum undo", "MOHANAchuvai", "KAANADA en paattu thenada". Brilliant. Of course, who else is there other than the peerless Dr.BMK to render it so perfectly? Kudos to one of the greatest lyric writer of Tamil cinema Kannadasan too. What a combination this was - KVM, BMK, APN, Kannadasan, TS Balaiah. Wow.* *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0wLIArAayY <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0wLIArAayY>* * * <http://sig.graphicsfactory.com/>* நல்லதுசெய் நல்லதே நடக்கும் *जन सेवा ईश्वर सेवा * *cnu.pne* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
