Thanks for all of them.<br /><br />Keeravani - yes, I am aware of the vocal harmony/counter melody that Raja has done in this song similar to 'Aavesa Manta'. <br /><br />I had a post on Raja's vocal harmony in mind that I wanted to include this song. Thanks for bringing this up. <br /><br />Recenty, one of the readers brought to my attention another obscure vocal harmony work of Raja in the 90s. This is a never ending musical mine that you can keep digging for life.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Ravi Natarajanravinathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220357576335516655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-69417649355942064032010-12-14T20:33:32.701-05:002010-12-14T20:33:32.701-05:00Ravi, Minor correction - Nadham Ezhunthathadi is f...Ravi, Minor correction - Nadham Ezhunthathadi is from Gopura vaasalile.

That is something amazing about Raja.<BR/><BR/>I like your posts and am looking forward to more posts from you.<BR/><BR/>S.SureshSuresh Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775860840384645432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-54948215090228422652008-11-05T16:28:00.000-05:002008-11-05T16:28:00.000-05:00Hi Suresh Thanks for your comments.

In general, the experiments that are visible to a listener are based on his/her point of view. I am glad you have observed some of his experiments as well.<BR/><BR/> I had written about 'Ennulle Enulle' earlier under the violin counterpoint section and did not want to repeat myself.<BR/><BR/> I will definitely write about his Malayalam work. Apart from 'Kaiyetha' in Vinodha Yatra, I was equally blown away by Sooryan (Vasantha Nilavin) and Rasathanthiram (Poo Kunkumapoo). Malayalam and Telugu deserves a separate write up and some more research on my part.<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>Raviravinathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220357576335516655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-28191617670531659622008-11-05T11:14:00.000-05:002008-11-05T11:14:00.000-05:00One lovely change from Carnatic to Western is 'Poo...One lovely change from Carnatic to Western is 'Poo Malardhida', the Karaharapriya based song from 'Tik Tik Tik'. The first pallavi has typical carnatic support and the second pallavi has western support but with a few lovely taps of the mridangam. Excellent stuff.<BR/><BR/>Another song without percussion would be 'Ennulle Ennulle' from 'Valli'. Excellent support by the violins. Also listen to 'Kaiyetha' from 'Vinoda Yatra' (Malayalam). Wonderful support by the keyboard / piano.<BR/><BR/>S.SureshSuresh Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775860840384645432noreply@blogger.com
