  • Beyond words....!

    What ragam is this based on?

  • Based on tulasidala, so its Maya maalava gowlai at the core.I am not so very expert in this, but I guess this song along the way also has other Raagas.

  • why dosen't tulasi dalamula not mention thyagaraja? i mean why is the title of THIS song study for violin? shouldn't this be "chamber welcomes thyagaraja?"

  • You people are all right, I have always had this confusion, but then stuck with what was said on the CD. Nevertheless it does not matter much, as Raja(or affectionately mottai :D)dedicates the whole album in honor of Thyagaraja and Bach.

  • a big thanks for posting ....a real gem from the maestro....

  • thank you too..

  • Raja sir's music is my second mom...

  • @whenall,

    Thanks a lot for posting this the best gem of his composition in mayamalavagowla ragam. want to hear more of such symphony by ilayaraja in such core ragas.I had the cassette of this album, but lost it. Thanks a lot for posting this song.

  • All mayamalavagowla ragam lovers should definitely listen to this maestro's one of the wonderful compositions. I think he dedicated this track to both thyagaraja and Bach!! It is heavenly!! Felt like thyagaraja singing and Bach arranging the orcheastra to his wonderful composition thulasidala!! Though this could not happen Ilayaraja had the vision and composed this.. when i hear this mayamalavagowla, tears stream down my cheeks!! I cant help it. especially the first charanam..

  • It is Mayamalavagowla... interspaced with the corresponding western notes.. I think

    It is so simple yet so rich !!!!

    AND the meaning words of this by saint Tyagaraja are similarly simple but profound !!

  • It is Mayamalavagowla... interspaced with the corresponding western notes.. I think

    It is so simple yet so rich !!!!

  • It is Mayamalavagowla... interspaced with the corresponding western notes.. I think
