It is not the question of identifying the instrument. It is the sheer volume. If you want to test the limits of Excel, that will be a good case!<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Ravi Natarajanravinathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220357576335516655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-14502868604695264452013-02-26T16:28:00.384-05:002013-02-26T16:28:00.384-05:00Was listening to Andhi Mazhai Pozhigirathu (to not...Was listening to Andhi Mazhai Pozhigirathu (to note the scale variations as mentioned in WCM post), and happened to notice a nice melodious counterpoint with violins and piano (i guess) in the second interlude.

Th...Hi Mahesh<BR/><BR/> Good to know that you like the blog. The prelude (which is a very short one) is indeed a counterpoint. You can notice that the flute and the violins do play different melodies. <BR/><BR/> This also proves one more key point that I have made with Raja's folk tunes - they are Westernized and not just pure Indian folk. It comes so natural for him that he once said that Bach does not sound foreign to him!<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>Raviravinathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220357576335516655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-68363438408766860982008-09-22T08:29:00.000-04:002008-09-22T08:29:00.000-04:00God!!!
