Synthesizer based PolyCaRe arrangements in 200x - interludes

We will continue the journey on PolyCaRe arrangements of Raja, with his compositions based on synthesizer  as the background melody instrument. In this post, we will particularly focus on his interlude compositions in the 200x. As we made it very clear in the definition, the PolyCaRe arrangement not only requires a background synthesizer  melody, it also requires two call and response melodies in the foreground played according to our rules of CaRe arrangements.

Let’s begin with the song ‘Thoorigai Indri’  from Ajanthaa  (Tamil 2007). This segment, has synthesizer as its background instrument. Here is how the segment is structured:

Song	Film	Year	Background instrument	CaRe - Instrument1	CaRe - Instrument2
Thoorigai Indri	Ajanthaa	2007	Synthesizer	Violins	Flute

1. The first two seconds are filled with the synthesizer melody that is the background melody of this clip
2. Between 2 and 11 seconds, the call is made by the Flute for which the response is from the violins. While this is going on, observe that the background synthesizer melody keeps playing. The clip has 4 CaRe arrangements 

The foreground melodies can stand on their own feet as simple CaRe arrangement. The background synthesizer melody makes them polyphonic and hence PolyCaRe. There are 8 foreground melodies playing on top of the constant background synthesizer melody in these 11 seconds.

Let’s hear the modern PolyCare arrangement of Thoorigai Indri…

Synthesizer based PolyCaRe arrangements in 199x – background scores

We will continue the journey on PolyCaRe arrangements of Raja, with his compositions based on synthesizer as the background melody instrument. In this post, we will particularly focus on his background score compositions in the 199x. As we made it very clear in the definition, the PolyCaRe arrangement not only requires a background synthesizer  melody, it also requires two call and response melodies in the foreground played according to our rules of CaRe arrangements.

Let’s consider the background score of  ‘Kaadhal Kavidhai’ (Tamil 1998). This segment has synthesizer as its background instrument. Here is how the segment is structured:

Background score	Film	Year	Background instrument	CaRe - Instrument1	CaRe - Instrument2
Love theme	Kaadhal Kavidhai	1998	Synthesizer	Violins	Flute

1. This is another unconventional arrangement. Between 1 and 5 seconds, there are two PolyCaRe arrangements. There is a constant synthesizer tone in the background which is just two notes being played repeatedly. The violins make the Call and the Flute responds to the call twice while the synthesizer tone continues in the background. Raja does not do his usual introductory part where he has the background tome alone playing for some time. The entire package is delivered in one shot of 5 seconds. There are two CaRe arrangements riding on the synthesizer background tune.
2. The last 5 seconds in the clip is not PolyCaRe as it pure violin play

The foreground melodies can stand on their own feet as simple CaRe arrangement. The background synthesizer melody makes them polyphonic and hence PolyCaRe. There are 4 foreground melodies playing on top of the constant background synthesizer melody in these 5 seconds.

Let’s hear the different PolyCare arrangement of the Kaadhal Kavidhai background score…
