Ilayaraja - how to name it - IITM

[dilojen007]

Every time I hear this music its bring back memory of that classic movie by Balu Mahenthira,s 'Veedu'....no one can compose music like Illayaraaja ...he is more than genius...

[mimi08ification]

thumbs up if u r still listenin 2 this in 2011..

[Ravi210671]

WHY CAN'T WE ALL PETITION TO THE GOVT OF INDIA AND PRESIDENT TO LOOK INTO THE GENIUS'S BODY OF WORK.......SADLY ILLAYARAAJA HAS NOT GOT HIS DUE...!!! THERE HAS TO BE A HONOUR SPECIALLY TO BE NAMED AND FRAMED FOR ILLAYARAJA ONLY...NO ONE IN FUTURE OR IN PAST CAN LAY THEIR HAND ON THAT!!!

[akgrandhi]

How can I like this twice?

[karthikmmc03]

heavenly music.

[pvvscusa]

what to say about this composition! its mind blowing. All comments here are well written and informative. thanks.

[trajendran86]

The great thing about truly great art is there are different levels of enjoyment. This is one such piece. You could listen to this as you are driving a car or when you are in a contemplative mood or when you are happy. The maestro! The maestro! The maestro!

[pshapur]

ilayaraja: Devine music in human avatar...no more words to express..

[Narayanan011]

This is a Fantastic Music which is talking directly to the heart contineously.....!!!!!!!

It looks like mixture of both Happy and Sad ....!!!!!!

[rajsiv24]

Hi all

What a wonderful composition by the Great Maestro who uses more instruments rather than electronics. Truly soulful music!

He is not even recognized by the Indian Government for his achievements. His BGM is uncomparable.Those days we did not have this kind of communication explosion,otherwise he would have gone places. The world needs to know about him.

Hats off to the great Maestro !

[blaazethebest]

no on earth can match him..!!

[hai1234567891011]

mind blowing!!

[primedigit]

This music directly speaks with the heart.....full stop:)

[Chiyaan1984]

OMG Hats off !! Isaignani Sir Illayaraja !!

tears came out :(

[vvmvijay]

Is it a happy tune .Sad one ? Is it trying to make all humans nude ,.. nude of pride,nationality ,colour and sex... Does it make me think there is no absoluteness ! .. or is it making me wonder , Is this another Monalisa ? ... This time, there is no image form.. just a feast to heart and soul...

[Chiyaan1984]

Well said !! Wat a music from Illayaraja !!

blown away !! Ohhhhhhhh !!

[georgepandyan]

Nanri Nanri Ayyaaa Iayaraja Ayyaa...

We live on your musics...

[ksugeeth]

This is also used as the pathos BGM theme for Veedu. A movie by BaluMahendra and raja's music.

[JaiSanaathanaDharma]

There is Simhendramadhyamam in the beginning when slow, Shanmukhapriya later when it gets faster. There are other raga(s) too I think.

TheMartianvisitor, well said! this is not even music, something beyond!

[manik1580]

Is this shanmugapriya from start to end?

[pvbinoyable]

ohhfffff i cant believe it, mastero you are not human , you are a magician. hats off

[coolmails]

Now tell me -- who is the Modern day Mozart?!!

[maddyjn]

RAJA IS GREAT.............

[TheMartianvisitor]

A dose of Raja's works of art every now and then is good for your Health.

Raja for Life !!!

[davidaud777]

nice fusion

[heru1966]

Incredible sound, so distinctive!

[queennikki01]

So Defined and Mystical Too. Thanks for sharing Bro. Hope all is well with you... Take care...

[sudheervemana]

He is a genius....No more words to praise Maestro.....

[deepikageetam]

I'm in tears !

Naa Janma Dhanyamayyindi !

[muthukumarkasi]

Sir u r the man...

[Naliniilangovan]

The great music. I love Ilayaraja's music. Where i can download this music?

[gcadi1978]

Long live legend raja sir,I have grown up listening to your music

[meenabollempalli]

I am proud that i am an Indian.Every human being will be moved after hearing this music. Tears just roll down when this song is played. Not able to even express my what i want to say.Please let me know from where i can download this music.Thankyou very much for posting this.We are greatful to u .

[kavithajagadeesh]

God Bless him for many nore years, Its just Amazing.... And Im Lost of Words...

He Rocks...

[cheetahmak]

ahhh,.. thats wonderfull,.... listen at 2:24 the violin notes are wonderful,... where did he get from god???,... u r the genius,... no awards can match,.. expect this " u r god in music"

i listen atleast once daily,.... wonderful notes and composition,..

[tanapp]

Ah! That's where the Maestro jumps to Raga Shanmukhapriya. Till 2:23 it is Raga Simhendramadhyamam - and both these are sampoorna ragas that is they have all the 7 frequencies but differ only in the 7th note. Touch of pure genius to highlight the transition that even Westerners can understand. Truly a masterpiece for generations to come. What Oscars could possibly honor the frequencies in Nature, that the beautiful mind of Isainyani has captured for eternity? Eternal Ilayaraja.

[smoohas]

Ahh gr8 composition.........rit now guys i am unable to control my emotions and tears are flowing frm my eyes.................i wish i cud meet him for once in my lifetime......................

[karaikudi1974]

I feel like, my heart is melting, when I listen to this music. Great composition.

[varman143]

truly spellbinding ! immaculate King of Indian music, Ilayaraja s the maestro forever !

[arivamisaikavitha]

AIYOO AIYOO,I LOVE U

[kklotus123]

I feel the same way - that i am truly blessed because i can hear IsaiGnani's music. He is that Kalaivanni herself who gave music to this world. Raja is really the RAJA of the Music

[crazyqetapurr]

The only music that can make you cry and smile, take you the depth of oceans and the dizzying heights of mountains - Ilayaraja's music. Without his music my life would have half lived. For once I thank god that I'm blessed with the power to hear and that I'm born in India. Long live Ilayaraja

[trichymahesh]

Awesome, i forget everything when i listen this.

[unojaz]

This is an excellent excellent song. Thank you so much for uploading,,

[sx42007]

Who can make such music other than ilayaraja!!

See the pathos, ups and downs in solo violin!! Karnatic ragas were fusioned by western symphonic orchestration.

This piece is going to stay for generations to come.

Raja is going to remain as another Beethoven on this planet.

[siva6783]

The initial part was Simhendramadhyamam and then it moved to Shanmugapriya when the faster stanzas came. Fantastic harmony and spellbounding

[schopenhauersring]

A beautiful Shanmukhapriya rendered with a diverse combination of instruments, in Ilayaraja's own style. How beautiful!
